Mike Scott is getting closer to a return.

The Hawks reserve forward has not played this season due to a sore left knee. However, the team upgraded Scott to questionable on their injury report released ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

The Hawks announced Scott would undergo a series of non-surgical procedures on Oct. 31 after he missed the first two exhibition games and would be out at least four weeks. Scott’s knee experienced swelling even during a team photo shoot prior to the start of training camp.

Scott averaged 6.2 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 15.3 minutes in 75 games off the bench last season.
