Atlanta Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer has insisted that his side cannot afford to dwell on the loss of shooting guard Kyle Korver for the rest of the post-season.

Korver was ruled out for the remainder of the playoffs after sustaining a severe high ankle sprain in his side's defeat to the Cleveland Cavaliers in game two of their Eastern Conference final series.

Budenholzer admits that Korver's injury is a huge blow, but believes that his team have to refocus to get back into the series as they are currently 2-0 down to David Blatt's men.

"Obviously, it's very, very unfortunate for Kyle," Budenholzer told reporters. "He's such a big part of what we do.

"But there will be other people who will get opportunities. We expect to compete and get after it tomorrow in Game 3. I don't think anybody is going to feel sorry for us."

Game three of the series between the Hawks and the Cavaliers takes place on Sunday.
