The Atlanta Hawks All-Star forward Paul Millsap suffered a right shoulder injury with 1:52 remaining in the second quarter of Saturday night's game against the Brooklyn Nets and will miss the next two games.

Millsap was knocked to the floor in a collision with Brooklyn's Earl Clark. He was escorted to the team bench, then to the locker room.

According to the Hawks, an X-ray was negative and an MRI revealed a right shoulder sprain and contusion.

His status beyond the two games will be updated "as appropriate," according to a team news release.

The Hawks (57-19) play the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday and the Brooklyn Nets again on Wednesday. The Hawks have clinched the Eastern Conference for the regular season.
