Atlanta Hawks DeAndre’ Bembry proved he’s fully recovered from his wrist surgery suffered in October when he blocked a 3-point attempt by Detroit Pistons’ Reggie Bullock in the first quarter.

In his second game back with the Hawks Wednesday, Bembry blocked Bullocks’ shot from the logo at midcourt and recorded a defensive rebound as he took the ball down the floor.

Bembry finished the Hawks’ 104-98 loss with six points, six rebounds, three assists and one block in 15 minutes.
