Hawks second-year wing Cam Reddish has been cleared to take off his walking boot, the Hawks announced Tuesday, and begin low-level rehab activities.

Reddish has missed nine games because of right Achilles soreness and underwent a non-surgical procedure March 8. Another update will be given in two weeks, per the team.

Before injury, Reddish was averaging 11.2 points in 28.8 minutes per game. In his absence, the Hawks certainly are missing his abilities on defense.
