Scott Will be Available vs. Nets

Saturday, April 4

Tim Bontemps of the New York Post reported Scott will be available against the Nets, according to Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer.

On March 14, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Scott broke his toe, noting it occurred on March 11 against Denver. He later tweeted the Hawks confirmed the injury:

Even though Scott has been a valuable bench piece for the Hawks this season, averaging 7.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, it's not a crippling blow for the Hawks.

The Hawks are currently 51-14 with a 10-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. This is a roster that's built on everyone being involved, so they are better prepared to deal with a role player going down than most teams.
