Al Horford was diagnosed with a complete tear to his right pectoral muscle.

This will likely end his season and the loss of Horford really can't be overstated for the Hawks. They don't really have any decent backup center on their roster and went with Pero Antic down the stretch of Thursday's double-overtime win. Horford owners can wait for an official report to confirm before cutting him, but there's a good chance he won't be back until next season considering it was a complete tear. Pero Antic and Mike Scott are the most interesting adds for their upside in 3-pointers while oft-injured Gustavo Ayon and Elton Brand should be in line for more minutes. To be clear, there really isn't a pickup to make in standard leagues yet.
