Hawks G Hinrich close to returning from surgery

Posted January 21, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Kirk Hinrich,  Jeff Teague
TEAMS: Atlanta Hawks

Hinrich
Hawks guard Kirk Hinrich, who has missed the first 17 games of the season while recovering from left shoulder surgery, says he hopes to return on Atlanta's upcoming five-game trip. Hinrich started in 22 of his 24 games with Atlanta last season after he was traded to the Hawks from Washington. He averaged 10.2 points and 4.0 assists overall. Hinrich had surgery in November and he is trying to beat his projected recovery time of three to four months. He said before Saturday night's game against Cleveland he will be with the Hawks on their road trip which begins Monday at Milwaukee. ''I hope I'll be playing sometime on this trip,'' he said. Jeff Teague has taken over as Atlanta's starting point guard.

Larry Drew: "It got tough for us in the third quarter and we quit. That’s what happened."Strong words following a game where your team allowed just a point per possession on the road against a team that ranks in the top five in the league in offensive efficiency. The Hawks shot the ball poorly and rebounded worse (or vice-versa, I wouldn't argue the particulars) but...
