The talk of the town has been Jalen Green's return to action, as he was finally cleared for on-court play earlier this week.
However, Green came off the bench for the first time ever (he says) as Ott wanted to monitor his minutes and conditioning. He finished with 12 points in 20 minutes with two rebounds and three assists last time out.
"I felt solid. Minute restriction. It's hard to get a rhythm a little bit, but just trying to work my way back," Green added after the game.
"Hopefully I get back all the way where there's no minute restriction and I'm just flowing. I felt good though, overall."
That again is the case tonight for Green.
Phoenix has typically been cautious with how they treat injuries, so their initial handling of Green's return isn't surprising — especially when you consider Green's suffered multiple setbacks with his hamstring injury.
Phoenix only featured Jordan Goodwin on their injury report, who is marked as available once again due to a jaw sprain. Out for the Hawks are all of N'Faly Dante (torn ACL), Kristaps Porzingis (left Achilles) and Zaccharie Risacher (left knee contusion).

The Suns won't have easy sledding tonight, as the Hawks are a team that ranks top five in team stats such as three-pointers made, offensive assists and defensive steals.
Phoenix hasn't won in Atlanta since March of 2014... before Devin Booker was even on the roster.
“It’s the last one to mark off the list,” Booker said to The Arizona Republic's Duane Rankin. “I’ve been in the NBA too long to not have a win in every arena. Definitely one I’ve had highlighted. So I’m looking forward to it.”
