The Atlanta Hawks say All-Star guard Joe Johnson is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks because of tendinitis in his left knee. Johnson left in the third quarter of a loss to the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Forward Marvin Williams is expected to return when the Hawks face the Knicks in New York.

No Marvin Williams, who was out due to a death in the family. No Joe Johnson in the fourth quarter, that recurring tendinitis in his left knee flared up again. No Al Horford, you know he's out for the season with that torn pectoral muscle. And no relief in sight for the Hawks, who lost again Monday, this time a 90-79 setback to the Chicago Bulls at the United Center in a game that produced far more tense situations after the action ended. In what can only be described as calling his team out, usually reserved Hawks Coach Larry Drew lobbed a few shots at his team in the aftermath of their latest lukewarm effort. "We as a team, sometimes, we come out and play with a sense of urgency; sometimes we don't," Drew said.

Between the nasty crossovers and fearless drives, Derrick Rose's back problems appear to be in the past -- a very good thing for the Chicago Bulls. As deep as their roster is, they need their superstar. Rose scored 23 points in his return from a five-game absence due to back pain, and Chicago hung on to beat the struggling Atlanta Hawks 90-79 on Monday.

Atlanta Hawks forward Marvin Williams missed Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls because of a death in his family. Coach Larry Drew says he's not sure if it was an immediate family member or not.

A little "Raymond Time" did the trick for Trail Blazers guard Raymond Felton. Felton had 14 points and eight assists in Portland's 97-77 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday night, breaking out of a personal slump that had thrown his starting role into question. He failed to score in Portland's previous game, a 74-71 loss to the Clippers in which the Blazers squandered an...

The Phoenix Suns took Joe Johnson out of the game. So Josh Smith took over.

Smith, whose career best is 32, had 20 points and 12 rebounds in the second half as Atlanta snapped a two-game skid and won for only the third time in eight games.

The days of high-scoring games and one-sided victories are basically over for the Los Angeles Lakers under new coach Mike Brown, who is still in the process of learning his roster and adjusting to individual matchups with a less-than-stellar bench at his disposal. Pau Gasol scored seven of his 20 points in the final 5:20 and grabbed 13 rebounds, and the Lakers beat the Atlanta Hawks 86-78 on...

On their last trip to Atlanta, the Miami Heat were missing two-thirds of their Big Three. This time, they were at full strength. The result was a laugher. LeBron James scored 23 points, Dwyane Wade added 21 and Chris Bosh grabbed a season-high 16 rebounds, leading Miami to a 107-87 rout of the Hawks on Sunday night.

Earl Lloyd remembers when he suited up for the Washington Capitols more than 60 years ago as the first black to play in an NBA game and wondering if he would make a good enough impression to stick around. Lloyd and the Capitols lost the game. But he played well enough to earn a roster spot and break the color barrier in a league that had only three black players in 1950 and now features the highest...

There was something about playing Orlando last season that brought out the best in the Atlanta Hawks. That trend apparently has trickled into a new year. Using most of the same blueprint that allowed them to dominate the Magic in both the regular season and playoffs last season, the Hawks used their size and some timely free throw shooting late to grind out an 89-87 overtime victory Friday night.
