Hawks' Cam Reddish likely out through end of regular season

By Zac Wassink | Last updated 4/27/21

The Atlanta Hawks have gotten used to playing without forward Cam Reddish, who has been sidelined with right Achilles soreness since Feb. 21.

On Tuesday, the Hawks announced that Reddish "has progressed to running and dynamic foot contacts, and capacity-building strength work." According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Hawks added that Reddish will be examined again the week of May 16. That timeline would sideline him for at least the rest of the regular season.

The Athletic's Chris Kirschner adds Atlanta fans shouldn't get too hopeful about Reddish potentially contributing during the playoffs:

With Cam Reddish not being able to return for the rest of the regular season. it is hard seeing him be a part of the playoff rotation if everyone is healthy. He would be on a minutes restriction and there would likely be rust.
