Lou Williams has been cleared for full-contact practice and his return to the Hawks lineup could come soon.
A day after Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer acknowledged that Williams has participated in full-contact drills, he said Williams has been medically cleared and is now getting in game shape. The veteran guard is rehabbing from a torn right ACL suffered in January.
“He is basically competing full-go now,” Budenholzer said Wednesday morning before the Hawks took on the Knicks.
