Atlanta Hawks' Kevin Huerter will miss at least two weeks with an injured left shoulder.

An MRI scan on Thursday revealed the Hawks shooting guard has suffered a rotator cuff strain and associated shoulder capsule strain.

The 21-year-old begins rehabilitation and treatment and will be re-examined in two weeks.

Huerter exited early in the third quarter of Tuesday's 125-121 win against Denver after a collision with Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and did not return to the game.

Huerter is currently averaging 9.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists a game so far this season.
