Point guard Michael Carter-Williams will have left hip surgery and miss the rest of the season for the Milwaukee Bucks

Scott put up a picture of the newly opened kicks, one of each pair, and tagged Kobe, the official Jordan IG page, and Reggie Saunders, an executive within the Jordan brand.

"He just came off a big night, so we wanted to get the ball out of his hands", Millsap said.

Coming off of the best five-game stretch of his career, all eyes were on D'Angelo Russell as the Lakers hosted the Atlanta Hawks on national television.

Russell isn't just providing a scoring boost, either; he's averaging 4.71 assists post-all-star break, 1.39 more than his average through the first 53 games of the season.

Kobe Bryant (sore right shoulder), Lou Williams (mild left hamstring strain) and Jordan Clarkson (patella tendon strain) were unavailable for the Lakers (12-51), who have lost 10 of their last 11. "Going into the game we knew it was going to be very tough".

The Lakers couldn't stop the Hawks in transition, either, with Atlanta scoring off Anthony Brown's missed 3 and Russell's turnover during its outburst.

Which is tougher...remembering when Kobe Bryant had hair or remembering when South Park killed Kenny every single episode

The Hawks led 26-19 after one period, then used a 28-17 surge in the second quarter for a 54-36 halftime lead.

There is nothing dubious about the Atlanta Hawks as the team is swarmed by flawless players and they are completely equipped to hold their power both at the frontcourt and backcourt.

The third quarter would provide the Hawks a 20-point lead, and LA never found a way to threaten the visitors from that point forward, which is not to say that they threatened the Hawks at any point prior.

The Hawks have covered the spread in three straight games but they were 0-3 against the number before this streak, so they also continue to be highly inconsistent. No longer obsessed with dominating his opponent, with the Lakers now the worst team in the Western Conference at 12-50, Bryant has taken a light-hearted approach to his final season.

Los Angeles had won eight straight at home in the series prior to the Hawks' 91-86 victory March 15, 2015.
