After tweaking his shoulder in Friday’s win in Washington, Kevin Huerter is officially listed as questionable for the Hawks’ game Monday night in Detroit.
Huerter worked out and tested his shoulder in Monday’s shootaround, going through a longer workout than normal for a game day. It was the first time Huerter tested the shoulder since Friday and he will be a game-time decision against the Pistons, according to coach Nate McMillan.
Huerter said his shoulder has felt sore the last couple of days, but it felt good at shootaround.
“I’ve had problems with this shoulder in the past; I kind of keep reaggravating it a little bit,” Huerter said. “On that pass, kind of felt it slip out a little bit… The past couple days it felt sore a little bit. Today it felt good, though. Today’s the first time I did anything since the game, so that’s why today’s a game-time decision.”
In the victory against the Wizards, Huerter walked straight back to the locker room after throwing a skip pass with his left arm.
Last April, Huerter was diagnosed with a left shoulder sprain after injuring it in a game vs. the Pistons, missing two games. The season before last, Huerter suffered a “left rotator cuff strain with an associated shoulder capsule strain” in the Hawks’ win Nov. 12 in Denver, missing 11 games.
