The Atlanta Hawks might be without rookie Cameron Reddish for tonight's game against the Houston Rockets. According to the NBA's Injury Report, Reddish is questionable for the game after suffering a sprained left wrist in a 135-127 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on November, 20.
Reddish, who was a top prospect coming out of high school, was drafted by Atlanta with the No. 10 overall pick in this year's NBA draft after a freshman season at Duke that saw him average 13.5 points and 3.7 rebounds for the Blue Devils.
Reddish has missed two of the last five games for the Hawks as the team has hit a downward spiral and are in the midst of a nine-game losing streak.
Reddish has struggled in his first year for the Hawks. In 17 games played (and 15 starts) the Duke product is averaging 7.1 points and 3.5 rebounds but is shooting a paltry 28.7 percent from the field and 21.3 and from deep.
Other than star point guard Trae Young, the majority of the Hawks roster has struggled. The losing has been made worse by the November, 5. suspension of power forward John Collins who was suspended for 25 games for breaking the NBA's performance enhancing drug (PEDs) rule.
The Hawks currently sit at a 4-15 on the year and tied for last place in the Eastern Conference.
Most recently, Atlanta fell to the Indiana Pacers 105-104 — a game where Reddish only scored two points in 11 minutes and Young tied a career-high 49 points.
After the game against the Rockets on Saturday, the Hawks have a two-game home stretch against the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets.
