Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer sat down with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for an exclusive interview.

Q. How is Al Horford?

A. He has made good progress. I think we are excited about having him back and healthy. I still think he’s got some hurdles to clear. 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.

Q. Is he cleared for contact?

A. He’ll be held out of contact early in training camp. He’ll progress through and get to where he’s got full clearance in everything but at the start of camp there will be some limitations.
