    CHILDRESS AT HOME, TOO: Al Horford wasn't the only Hawks player to stay behind in Atlanta. Josh Childress aggravated his groin injury in Tuesday's loss to Toronto and did not make the trip. Woodson said he hoped to have him back for Saturday night's game against Charlotte, along with Horford, who will return from his one- game suspension for a flagrant foul on Raptors point guard T.J. Ford. "We hope to have Chils back, but if not, that just gives guys like Mario West and Salim Stoudamire a chance to play," Woodson said. "But ultimately, we've got to let Chils decide when he can come back and hope for the best, because it's one of those injuries that only he can determine when he can come back from it."</p>

    PACHULIA RETURNS: Zaza Pachulia also made his <span class="template"><span class="body">long-awaited return after missing five games with concussion-like symptoms. Woodson opted to keep Pachulia in his reserve role rather than starting him in place of Horford. Pachulia replaced Wright with 5:35 to play in the first quarter, his first minutes since taking a forearm to the face Dec. 3 in Philadelphia.</span></span></p>
