ATLANTA (AP) One game after he was held to a season-low three points and criticized by his coach, Atlanta Hawks leading scorer Al Harrington was held out of Tuesday night's game against New Orleans with tendinitis in his right knee.<br>
<br>
Hawks coach Mike Woodson said Harrington's status is day to day.<br>
<br>
Woodson said he would meet with Harrington before speculating on the forward's status for the rest of the season. Tom Gugliotta started for Harrington against the Hornets.<br>
<br>
Harrington managed only two rebounds in the Hawks' 12th straight loss, a 111-91 setback to the Los Angeles Clippers Sunday. With starting center Obinna Ekezie similarly ineffective, Woodson said ``Al and Ekezie didn't do the job.''<br>
<br>
Woodson also said ``I'm going to find me some guys who want to play, if not this year then next year.''<br>
<br>
Harrington was on the injured list from Feb. 7-16 with tendinitis in the knee. He also missed the March 28 game at Orlando with the problem, and his status for the rest of the season had been uncertain.<br>
<br>
``It's kind of up to him,'' Woodson said when asked about shutting Harrington down for the final nine games.<br>
<br>
Harrington is averaging 17.5 points in his first year in Atlanta. He also leads the team with 7.5 rebounds and 38.6 minutes per game.<br>
