NEW YORK — The Hawks will not have Larry Nance Jr. and Vit Krejci for several weeks.

The team announced Wednesday that Nance and Krejci returned to Atlanta and underwent evaluation at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex in Brookhaven

Nance left Monday night’s game at Orlando with a right knee injury in the fourth quarter after drawing a foul off Magic forward Franz Wagner. Further evaluation and imaging showed a non-displaced fracture of his right medial femoral condyle. The team said they will re-evaluate in approximately six weeks, then provide an update.
