Bad news, which I just broke on the Hawks Twitter feed - Marvin Williams will miss tonight's Game 3 with a wrist injury. Marvin apparently hurt it at some point during Game 2, and went through shootaround this morning to see if he could make a go of it. But apparently he wasn't able to get the range of motion he wanted on it (it's his shooting wrist), and after meeting with the coaches and team doctors this afternoon it was decided to shut him down for tonight and hope he can be back for Monday. It's a tough blow for Marvin, who is still working his way back from a back injury, but the Hawks proved in the last 6 weeks of the season they can put Maurice Evans into the lineup and not experience much (if any) drop-off. That's not to say Marvin won't be missed tonight; he certainly will be. But I don't think it's a sign that the team should panic. Here is what Coach Woodson had to say about the situation before the game. In more positive news, Acie Law will dress tonight (inactives for the game are Marvin, Speedy, and Randolph Morris). They wouldn't dress Acie if they didn't think he could potentially contribute, so hopefully he can help replace some of the production in Marvin's absence as well.
