Atlanta Hawks first-round pick Cam Reddish will not play Friday night against the Detroit Pistons due to an injury, according to Sarah K. Spencer of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Reddish was listed as questionable to play in the matchup due to a sprained left wrist suffered Wednesday in a loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Hawks head coach Lloyd Pierce said prior to the game that Reddish was doing better and that some of the swelling was down.
His performance against the Bucks was his best yet this season. Reddish recorded a career-high 17 points and three rebounds for his third straight game scoring in double figures.
Lloyd Pierce says Cam Reddish is out.
Bembry will start.

The injury for Reddish may have come at an inopportune time for the rookie after he had been playing some of his best basketball of the young season recently. He scored in double figures just once over his first 10 games, tallying 55 total points over that span, but has scored 51 over his last four games for the Hawks.
The injury doesn’t appear to be severe so Reddish likely won’t much too much time for the Hawks.
