Hawks Highlight: Dedmon dunks in second game back from injury

Several Atlanta Hawks dunked during Wednesday’s 110-97 win over the Denver Nuggets, but Dewayne Dedmon had the fiercest one.

Dedmon, who played his second game back from a lower leg injury on Wednesday, had a massive dunk off an assist from Malcolm Delaney who tossed the ball from the logo at midcourt.
Dedmon has been listed as probable with a left tibia stress reaction since missing 19 games due to injury.

Dedmon played 18 minutes off the bench and recorded nine points and nine rebounds.

The Hawks’ next game will be against the Brooklyn Nets Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Philips Arena.
