The Hawks will likely have Mike Muscala back when they begin a five-game western road trip at the Suns Tuesday. The forward/center was upgraded to probable on the team’s injury list released Monday.

Muscala has been out after suffering a left ankle sprain on Nov. 3 and has missed the past 27 games due to the injury

The Hawks recalled Muscala from the G League on Sunday after he played a total of three games in two stints as he worked his way back.
