The Hawks are getting one player back from injury. The team upgraded Mike Dunleavy to probable ahead of Wednesday’s game at the Wizards.

The guard/forward has not played the past 13 games because of synovitis in his right ankle. Dunleavy was active for Monday’s 105-90 loss at the Hornets, but did not play.

The Hawks will play without starters Paul Millsap (tightness in left knee) and Kent Bazemore (bone bruise in right knee) for the game against the Wizards. Millsap could return for Friday’s game against the Bucks. Bazemore will miss at least several more games.

Dunleavy was acquired from the Cavaliers in the trade for Kyle Korver in January. He has appeared in 19 games for the Hawks and averaged 5.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 16.2 minutes. He has a field-goal percentage of .464 and a 3-point percentage of .442 with the Hawks.
