Vivlamore reporting from Athens.

The Hawks held their final practice on the campus of the University of Georgia and boarded a bus back to Atlanta Thursday.

All 20 players participated in drills. Lou Williams (torn ACL) continues his rehab and did not take part in five-on-five drills and scrimmages. I didn't get to see much scrimmage work but there were a lot of different groupings. It didn't appear they were running set units against set units.

The Hawks will be off on Friday. The team's open practice will be Saturday at Philips Arena. The event is free. Doors open at 4 p.m. for the 5 p.m. start. I will have more on the event in a blog/story tomorrow. Coach Mike Budenholzer said it will be primarily a scrimmage. The players will warm up and then take to the court in a game. It should give fans an early opportunity to see lineups and rotations.

Look for my story on DeMarre Carroll and his role in the starting lineup later today on myajc.com.
