Update: The Hawks recalled Taurean Prince from the D-League assignment Saturday. Mike Dunleavy (right knee) was added to Hawks injury report as probable and Thabo Sefolosha (left groin) remains questionable.

Taurean Prince scored 16 points for the Long Island Nets in an NBA Development League game against the Greensboro Swarm Friday night.

Prince came off the bench and added four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 22 minutes in the Nets’ 128-108 loss. The Hawks rookie was 6 of 16 from the field, including 3 of 5 from 3-point range.

Prince will play for the Nets against tonight at the Swarm. It is the second D-League stint for Prince, who played four games with the Nets earlier this season. In five games, he has averaged 20.6 points and 7.6 rebounds in 28.3 minutes.
