Forward Danny Green will miss at least two weeks after an MRI conducted Saturday revealed he suffered a right calf strain. After the two weeks have passed, he will be re-evaluated to see how the injury has healed. Green had left the game in the first quarter after limping off the court. He was later seen in street clothes near the bench, sporting a walking boot. Besides being a veteran Three and D player, meaning he is a wing player who shoots three-points shots and plays adequate defense, Green has provided veteran leadership, which has been needed for a team looking to navigate their way deeper into the postseason. If Green is not able to play, the Sixers have a few options to go. The first option to replace Green is the one that Rivers went to first in Game 3: Matisse Thybulle. Thybulle, who is averaging 3.9 points and 1.6 steals a game in the playoffs, scored seven points in the game while adding two steals and a rebound before fouling out for the first time in his career. Thybulle would make sense on the defensive end, giving the Sixers another option to cover Hawks guard Trae Young. Thybulle has also been adding to his offensive game, seemingly not afraid to shoot from three-point range, run in the lane on transition, or hang around the dunker position, the area around the rim, to put back a missed shot. Another option is Furkan Korkmaz. Korkmaz is coming off a playoff career-high 14 points, making three of his six attempts beyond the arc. Korkmaz and stretch the floor and open things up on the offensive end, but even though he has improved his game on the defensive end, it is not on the same level as Thybulle or Green.

In those two starts, Korkmaz scored 20 points in an April 10 matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder and 10 points against the Thunder April 26, and six points in the season finale against the Orlando Magic.
