Hawks' Luke Kennard: Won't play Saturday

Kennard has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Toronto due to back soreness, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Kennard will take a seat for the tail end of the Hawks' back-to-back set due to back pain. With Trae Young (quadriceps) also out, Atlanta will have to lean on Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Vit Krejci and Keaton Wallace. Kennard's next chance to play will come Monday in a rematch with the Raptors.
