Sefolosha (right fibula fracture) doesn't know if he'll be ready for the start of the season but is making good progress in his recovery, ESPN reports.
Sefolosha was arrested in early April for obstruction of justice, and during the arrest, he was struck with a baton, which broke his leg. He had to undergo surgery to fix the break, and he'll likely still be rehabbing the injury at the start of the season.

Sefolosha (ankle) has steadily progressed from a broken right fibula, but it's unclear when he'll begin basketball activities, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "I am doing better every day," Sefolosha said. "The leg and ankle are feeling good, but it is too early to say exactly when I'll be back on the court."
Sefolosha suffered the injury this past April in an incident outside a nightclub while being detained by police, and he underwent surgery a week later. The initial six-month recovery timeline would place his return in October. Coach Budenholzer indicated Sefolosha would replace DeMarre Carroll in the starting lineup this season, but even if he was fully healed by opening night, it's hard to believe he'll play starter's minutes immediately.

Sefolosha had his season cut short after breaking his ankle in an off-court incident. He averaged 5.3 points, 0.5 three-pointers, 4.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 1.0 steals in 19 minutes per game through 52 games in 2014-15.
The 31-year-old, who finished his ninth NBA season, is under team control through 2016-17. Sefolosha missed all of February and most of March with a calf injury, coming back for just seven games before missing the rest of the season due to a broken ankle he sustained in an off-court incident. Known as a defensive specialist, Sefolosha displayed a modest shooting efficiency this season, averaging 42 percent from the field, 32 percent from three, and 78 percent from the free-throw line. Though he is unsure he will be healthy enough to play at the start of the 2015-16 season, Sefolosha should continue to be a defensive option off the bench when healthy.

Sefolosha (ankle) said Tuesday that he's unsure if he'll be ready for the 2015-16 season opener, Ian Begley of ESPN New York reports.
Sefolosha suffered a fractured fibula and ligament damage back in April during an incident with New York City police at a night club. He underwent surgery in mid-April but is still in a cast and walking with a crutch. He likely won't return to basketball activities until late in the summer, putting a return for the start of next season in question.

Sefolosha (ankle) underwent surgery to repair a right fibula fracture and ligament damage Friday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sefolosha, who was involved in a police scuffle outside of a New York City night club earlier this month, will miss the rest of the season. He faces a lengthy recovery period and is expected to return to basketball activities in about six months. That timetable puts his status for the start of next season in serious jeopardy.

Sefolosha has been diagnosed with a broken ankle and will miss the rest of the season, Shams Charania of RealGM reports.
Sefolosha sustained the injury during an incident in New York City early Wednesday morning. Indiana Pacers' forward Chris Copeland was stabbed multiple times, while both Sefolosha and teammate Pero Antic were arrested on the scene. Both face multiple charges, and it's unclear what each player's future holds, from a legal perspective. Regardless, Sefolosha's 2014-15 season is over.

Sefolosha (not injury related) will not play Wednesday against the Nets, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Both Sefolosha and Pero Antic will be held out Wednesday after the pair were arrested at the scene in New York City where Pacers' forward Chris Copeland was stabbed early Wednesday morning. No disciplinary action has been taken against Sefolosha or Antic, so it's possible both players could return as early as Friday against Charlotte. However, Zach Klein of Action News 2 in Atlanta is reporting that Sefolosha sustained an ankle injury during the arrest.

Sefolosha was arrested outside a New York City club early Wednesday morning of obstruction of justice after Pacers forward Chris Copeland and his wife were stabbed, the New York Daily News reports.
Copeland and his wife's conditions are unknown at this time. Sefolosha and his teammate Pero Antic were both arrested, and should both be considered questionable for Wednesday's game.

Sefolosha finished with 19 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and one turnover in 24 minutes on Wednesday.
This was an aberration, he's only scored in double figures six times on the season. This was an odd game for the Hawks as Sefolosha was one of nine players to play 24 minutes. He's best kept on the waiver wire unless Atlanta decides to begin resting their starters for the playoffs.

Sefolosha (calf) saw just seven minutes of court time Wednesday in his return to action.
After he missed 23 games, the Hawks are content to bring him along slowly and figure out where Sefolosha fits into their playoff rotation. Don't look for him to make much of a fantasy impact down the stretch.
Wed Mar 25 201511:29Sefolosha (calf) will play Wednesday against Magic
Sefolosha (calf) will play Wednesday against the Magic, but will have a minutes restriction, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
After missing the past two months with a strained calf, Sefolosha is finally healthy enough to return to the conference leading Hawks. His return won't have a massive fantasy impact, since Sefolosha is mainly a defensive player. He will probably push teammate Kent Bazemore to more of a bench role, though the rotation with Sefolosha in the mix will be a bit of a mystery as the Hawks continue to rest players heading into the playoffs.
Tue Mar 24 201517:12Sefolosha (calf) probable for Wednesday's game against Magic
Sefolosha (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
With Sefolosha set to play in a game for the first time since Jan. 30, Kent Bazemore is in danger of losing some minutes. Of course, the Hawks have the luxury of resting players down the stretch, so Bazemore still figures to get heavy run in a few games. Sefolosha, meanwhile, will likely be eased back into action but could also eventually see heavy run when the Hawks elect to rest some starters.
Sat Mar 21 201516:36Sefolosha (calf) will not play Sunday against San Antonio
Sefolosha (calf) will not play Sunday against San Antonio, Chris Vivlamore of the AJC reports.
Sefolosha is nearing a return after missing nearly two months with a strained calf. His next chance to return will be Wednesday against Orlando.
Fri Mar 20 201512:48Sefolosha (calf) will not play Friday against Oklahoma City
Sefolosha (calf) will not play Friday against Oklahoma City, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sefolosha has missed an extended period of time with a strained right calf, but he's expected to return in the coming days. Consider Sefolosha, who will not be a major fantasy factor, questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs.
Wed Mar 18 201517:11Sefolosha (calf) close to return from strained right calf
Sefolosha (calf) is close to a return from a strained right calf, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sefolosha has missed 20 straight games, but he's ramped up his activity of late and completed three-on-three work following Wednesday's shootaround. Sefolosha remains without a target return date, but with the Hawks signing Austin Daye to a 10-day deal on Sunday, Sefolosha figures to be ready by the time that contract expires on Mar. 25.
Mon Mar 16 201515:30Sefolosha (calf) will not play Monday against Kings
Sefolosha (calf) will not play Monday against the Kings, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports.
Sefolosha remains without a timetable to return from a right calf strain, but reports surfaced last week indicating that he's progressing as expected. He's yet to return to contact work but has been able to participate in shootarounds of late.
Wed Mar 11 201518:23Sefolosha (calf) continues to improve from right calf strain
Sefolosha (calf) continues to improve from a right calf strain, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Sefolosha, who has missed the last 17 games with the injury, was originally given a 6-to-8 week timetable. He's beginning to take part in shootarounds but has yet to return to full-contact work. His next step will be one-on-one drills, and he'll then progress to two-on-two and three-on-three work before being cleared for full practice. At present, the Hawks do not have a target return date.
Sat Jan 31 201519:38Thabo Sefolosha: (Calf) Out 6-to-8 Weeks
Sefolosha (calf) has been ruled out for the next 6-to-8 weeks, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
After an MRI on Saturday, the prognosis was finally handed down for Sefolosha's calf injury. Don't expect him to return before mid-to-late March, which places a damper on the Hawks' wing rotation. In his place, Kent Bazemore is the logical candidate to expand his workload greatly in the coming weeks.
Sat Jan 31 201514:03Sefolosha (calf) ruled out for Saturday's game
Sefolosha (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's game, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports.
He left Friday's game with a calf injury, and it is not known how serious it is, or how long he will be out. With DeMarre Carroll also out Saturday, Kent Bazemore will likely see an expanded role once again. Consider Sefolosha day-to-day for now.
Fri Jan 30 201519:54Sefolosha left Friday's game against Portland with injury to cal...
Sefolosha left Friday's game against Portland with an injury to his calf and will not return, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Sefolosha should be considered day-to-day until further news is released on his status, with Atlanta's next game coming against the Sixers on Saturday.
