Hawks' Cody Zeller: Remains out Sunday

What We Know

Atlanta Hawks center Cody Zeller remains out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets due to a right knee injury.

Zeller missed Friday's game against the New York Knicks due to the same injury.

The Hawks have not provided a timetable for Zeller's return.

Why It Matters

Zeller is a key part of the Hawks' rotation, averaging 10.5 points and 8.5 rebounds per game this season.

His absence leaves the Hawks thin at the center position, with only Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu available.

The Hawks are currently 17-19 this season and need to win games in order to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

What's Next

The Hawks will host the Hornets on Sunday at 6 p.m. ET.

It is unclear if Zeller will be available for that game.

The Hawks will then travel to face the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
