In addition to the loss last Sunday against the Hornets, Atlanta lost in this game its winger Solomon Hill. Released after 4 short minutes of play, the veterinarian underwent in-depth examinations to assess his injury. The diagnosis is not correct, Hill suffers from a torn hamstring tendon in his right thigh. Forced to pass on the pool table, the Hawk will miss the rest of the season. Certainly, this is not an essential part for the coach Nate McMillan, but Hill is one of those experienced blue collar workers who facilitate the collective by sending each other on defensive missions.
Landing Atlanta last year, he was shooting 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assist in 20 minutes last season. Private dj of De’Andre Hunter on this post, the Hawks will have to adjust their rotations. An injury that should do the business of the French Timoth Luwawu-Cabarrot. Propelled in the 5 Major for four games, he has just broken his season record with 23 points against the Timberwolves. But, the loss of Solomon Hill goes way beyond the floor, because as Nate McMillan points out, the vtran was one of the important voices in the locker room:
It is really difficult. Every time you lose a player for the season it’s difficult because he was not just a role player for us. Since last season, he has been an emotional leader. He was an important voice for us in the locker room, both on and off the floor. It really is a big loss. One of our captains and a guy who, every time we have had injuries, we have been able to align him in positions 2, 3 or 4, whether off the bench or starting.
