The team says Hawes will be re-evaluated in a week, which means he wouldn’t be available if the series goes to a seventh and deciding game on Sunday. He was injured during Charlotte’s win in Game 5 Thursday night in Miami.

The 7-foot Hawes has appeared in five playoff games for Charlotte and is averaging 3.6 points and 3.2 rebounds in 10.6 minutes.
