The Atlanta Hawks will wear permanent black shoulder patches on their uniforms to honor teammate Jason Collier. The 28-year-old center died early Saturday after he had trouble breathing while sleeping at his Lake Lanier home.

Forsyth County Coroner Lauren McDonald III said Sunday that the autopsy has been performed but other tests are needed.
