Atlanta Hawks guard Kyle Korver will miss the next three games with a broken nose.

Korver caught an elbow from Los Angeles' Ed Davis during Sunday's win over the Lakers. He left the game in the second quarter and did not return.

He did not travel with the team for Monday's game at Sacramento, instead Korver underwent a procedure to repair his nose at the Osborne Head and Neck Institute in Los Angeles, performed by Dr. Jason Hamilton.

When Korver returns, he'll wear a custom mask on his face to protect his nose.

The first game Korver could return is Sunday's home tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. He'll miss Monday's game at Sacramento, Wednesday's contest against the Warriors on the road and Friday's away game at Oklahoma City.
