Atlanta Hawks forward Omari Spellman has a high ankle sprain and will be re-assessed in about four weeks, according to NBA.com.
An MRI on Saturday revealed the extent of the rookie’s injury, which occurred during a 168-161 four-overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday.
Spellman had rejoined Atlanta from the club’s G League affiliate in January and has played in 46 games for the Hawks this season with 11 starts. He has averaged 5.9 points and 4.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.
Spellman was drafted by the Hawks with the final pick in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft out of Villanova.
The Hawks (21-42) have a rematch with the Bulls on Sunday afternoon.
