Alex Poythress (ankle) available on Sunday for Atlanta

Atlanta Hawks forward Alex Poythress will be available to play on Sunday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Poythress will be available to play, although that doesn't necessarily mean he will suit up and/or see the floor. He has a chance to see an increase role with John Collins out, but since Poythress hasn't played since Nov. 17, he could be eased in.

In 13 games this season, Poythress has averaged 5.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game.
