The Atlanta Hawks received some good news on Thursday, after an X-Ray and MRI showed forward DeMarre Carroll suffered a sprained left knee against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Atlanta fans held their breath when Carroll landed awkwardly on his left foot in the final quarter of Wednesday's 97-89 loss to the Cavaliers in game one of their Eastern Conference final.

But Carroll was given the all clear following scans, with the 28-year-old now listed as questionable for game two in Atlanta on Friday.

"We'll see how things go the next 24 hours," said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said.

"We'll make a decision that's in DeMarre's short-term and long-term best interests, listen to the doctors, listen to DeMarre, make decisions."

Carroll is averaging 16.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in the play-offs this season.
