Nets activate Mirza Teletovic

NBA, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks

ATLANTA -- Brooklyn Nets forward Mirza Teletovic has been activated for Game 2 of the playoffs Wednesday night against the Atlanta Hawks.

Teletovic had previously been ruled out for the season with multiple blood clots in his lungs. He has not played since Jan. 22 in Los Angeles.

Teletovic, 29, is a career 36.2 percent shooter from 3-point range who can bring much-needed scoring off the bench. It is unknown how much he'll be able to play after missing the past three months. Teletovic expects the first few minutes he plays to be "tough."

The Nets trail 1-0 in the first-round series.

Earl Clark is inactive, and Nets coach Lionel Hollins also made a change in the starting lineup, inserting Bojan Bogdanovic at shooting guard in place of Markel Brown.
