Al Horford, the Atlanta Hawks' leading scorer and rebounder, is out indefinitely with a torn right pectoral muscle, leaving his status for the remainder of the season in question. The Hawks said an MRI and examination on Friday by Dr. Michael Bernot in Atlanta revealed the complete tear of the muscle. ''Injuries are part of the challenge of an NBA season.'' For the Hawks (16-13), the loss of Horford for the season or even for an extended period could be devastating. Pero Antic, who replaced Horford Thursday night, may be the most likely candidate to move into the starting lineup.
