Kent Bazemore said his ailing right knee feels good after returning to the court following a two-game absence.
Bazemore missed two games with a sore right knee after an MRI exam showed no structural damage. The starting wing came off the bench and had five points, on 2-of-9 shooting, and three rebounds in 15 minutes of a 131-120 loss to the Magic on Tuesday.
“It feels pretty good,” Bazemore said after Wednesday’s practice. “I think the rest was everything. Even taking a day off after the game when I wasn’t doing anything, it felt a lot better. We are still monitoring it. There are still restrictions here and there. Just taking it a day at a time.”
Tim Hardaway Jr. started all three games in place of Bazemore.
The Hawks don’t play again until a game at the Raptors on Friday and a home game against the Hornets on Saturday.
