Atlanta Hawks' Kyle Korver out for the rest of the playoffs

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Kyle Korver has been ruled out for the remainder of the NBA playoffs with an ankle injury.

The 34-year-old sustained the injury in game two of his side's Eastern Conference final series against the Cleveland Cavaliers when he clashed with Matthew Dellavedova while attempting to gather a loose ball.

Korver has been diagnosed with a high right ankle sprain and will now miss the rest of the post-season.

The Hawks are 2-0 down in their series against the Cavaliers following Saturday's 94-82 loss.
