Hawks G Bibby to play despite flu

Mar 2, 2009 - 12:53 AM ATLANTA (Ticker) -- Atlanta Hawks guard Mike Bibby will start Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers despite a battle with the flu.

Bibby, who lost more than five pounds earlier this week, was unable to eat for three days. As a result, he went 0-of-7 from the field in 19 minutes in Friday's 91-83 win over the Miami Heat.

The veteran Bibby has averaged 15.5 points and 5.1 assists while shooting a team-best 41 percent from the arc this season.
