What happened
Kingston Flemings was moved to Cleared on the injury report at 12:53 AM ET on Tuesday, Nov. 3. His previous status was Suspension, which was entered on Sunday, Nov. 1. The report lists the reason for that earlier entry only as Other. It gives no injury detail and no comment on the change. Flemings is a 19-year-old guard.

What it means for the Hawks
Atlanta plays at the Wizards on Wednesday, Nov. 4, at 7:00 PM ET. The Hawks are 4-4, seventh in the standings, and have won one straight. Flemings is averaging 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 20.3 minutes over seven games this season. Atlanta is 3-4 with him and 1-0 without him. In the game without him, the minutes went mostly to the veterans: Jalen Johnson 32.6, Nickeil Alexander-Walker 30.3, Dyson Daniels 29.1, Onyeka Okongwu 28.9 and CJ McCollum 26.7. Aaron Wiggins played 25.4 minutes, Luguentz Dort 24.6 and Jock Landale 15.3.
What to watch
Flemings has no status on the report heading into Wednesday, so he is not expected to be limited by it. Two teammates are on the report. Jalen Johnson is day-to-day with a left ankle issue, and Jock Landale is day-to-day with a left hip issue. Henri Veesaar and Mouhamed Gueye are both out.
