Mike Scott went through a complete practice Saturday and is expected to be available to the Hawks for Game 1 of their playoff series against the Nets Sunday.

The reserve forward missed the final regular-season game with a back contusion. He practiced on Friday and was able to go again Saturday.

“I think we expect him to be available tomorrow,” Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said.

Scott was not on the Hawks’ injury report issued Saturday afternoon.
