Al Horford not cleared for contact as training camp opens

Hawks center Al Horford has not been fully cleared for contact as training camp is set to open next week. Horford is returning from a torn right pectoral muscle.

"He has made good progress. I think we are excited about having him back and healthy. He is not at 100 percent right now but I think we anticipate by opening night and through camp him getting to where he is totally cleared and ready to go," said Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer, "He’ll be held out of contact early in training camp."
