Atlanta Hawks: Kris Dunn is close to a return from injury
Nearly four months after ankle surgery, Kris Dunn is not far off making his debut for the Atlanta Hawks. In the latest injury report released by the Hawks, Dunn has been upgraded from out to doubtful. In the same report, Clint Capela has been upgraded to questionable.
This means that the Hawks have only De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, Tony Snell, and Trae Young listed as out. While this list could be a big part of most starting lineups in the NBA, the Hawks have always found a way to win.
However, the fact that Dunn is has been upgraded means that he is so close to returning to game action. This is great news for the Hawks for they are bout to get a future All-Defensive player into their lineup, who will surely form a tremendous understanding with the Hawks defensive leader, Capela.
The Atlanta Hawks are getting their players back at the right time.
