Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) ruled out for Atlanta's season opener on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks center Dewayne Dedmon (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the New York Knicks.

What It Means:

Dedmon suffered an avulsion fracture in his ankle in late-August and after being re-evaluated in October was ruled out for at least a couple more weeks. He is considered day-to-day but is likely to miss a couple of games to start the season.

Our models project Dedmon for 9.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 24.2 minutes per game this season.
