John Wall's swollen wrist keeps him out of Game 2 vs. Hawks

As the Wizards look to head home with a 2-0 series lead over the top-seeded Hawks on Tuesday night, they'll have to do it without their biggest star. 

Washington guard John Wall has been ruled out for Game 2 in Atlanta after injuring his left wrist in Sunday's 104-98 victory in Game 1.

Wall has averaged 17.4 points and 12.6 assists in five playoff games this season, and certainly will be a major loss for the Wizards on Tuesday. Still, it's probably best that he takes time to rest his wrist with a 1-0 lead and significant swelling still posing a problem. 

With Wall out, Ramon Sessions will be the Wizards' starting point guard for Game 2.

Chris Kirk leads, Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler in the mix at Players

On a course where no lead is safe, Chris Kirk (-10) holds a narrow one-shot advantage heading into Sunday's final round of the Players Championship. A tournament-record 30 golfers are within five shots of the lead, including past winners Sergio Garcia (-8) and Adam Scott (-6), despite both players fighting through some serious putting issues. MORE: Ishikawa back in the spotlight | Must-see round three photos | Tiger's 'record' day Garcia started the week with a conventional grip with his putter, but quickly changed to the claw grip we've become accustomed to seeing him with on shorter putts. The combo grips may look odd, but they seem to be doing the trick. Scott, on the other hand, continues to use the anchored putter that will soon be outlawed, even though his results haven't been stellar.
