Atlanta Hawks rookie Cam Reddish is out for the second straight game due to a sprained left wrist he suffered during Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Reddish did not play against the Pistons on Friday, and he won't suit up again as the Toronto Raptors visit them at the Philips Arena. The 20-year-old rookie was initially listed as questionable for the game.
Reddish is out, per Lloyd Pierce.

Reddish is off to a forgettable start with the Hawks. After being selected 10th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft, the Duke University product struggled adjusting to NBA offense.
While he has started in 12 of the 14 games he has played in, Reddish failed to make an impact on the team. He is averaging 7.6 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.7 assist and 1.1 steal in 24.6 minutes per contest. However, the Pennsylvania native is rather inefficient, shooting 29.8 percent from the field, 23.5 percent from deep and 78.6 percent from the free throw line.
The Hawks remain patient on Reddish, who was once one of the most highly touted prospect coming out of high school — even rated higher than Zion Williamson. Fortunately for the team, they have seen some flash of brilliance from the youngster, who posted 17 points on 6-of-10 shooting from the field (3-of-3 from deep) against the Bucks.
Reddish needs experience to develop his consistency, but his recent injury surely doesn't help.
