"The Hawks finished the trip with two players on the injured list. Hinrich (calf) didn't play and then Smith sat out the second half because of a knee injury.

Smith said he suffered a sprained right medial collateral ligament when J.R. Smith landed on his knee. Josh Smith said he's likely to get an MRI when after the team returns to Atlanta.

It's the same knee Smith banged earlier in the season.

"For the past two games it was feeling like I was getting back to 100 percent and then this happens," he said. "It's kind of frustrating but I can't control injuries."

Josh Smith returned to the game in the second quarter but remained in the locker room when the team came out for the second half."
