Hawks' Jarrett Jack: Starts training camp as limited participant

Jack (knee) is expected to be a limited participant when training camp begins next week, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "[Jack is] doing well. You always are optimistic that [the recovery time] is on the shorter end," coach Mike Budenholzer said. "I've told him, and he knows, we are always going to err on the side of caution. Easing him into camp and easing him into exhibition. To some degree the next week to 10 days will tell us more."

Analysis:

Jack played just 32 games this past season with the Nets before suffering a season-ending torn right ACL. At the start of August, Jack indicated his surgically-repaired knee was at about 80 percent strength, so it's safe to assume he's getting closer to full health. However, with his reps limited in camp, Jack could face some minutes restrictions when the season opens. He's expected to slot in as Dennis Schroder's primary backup at point guard.
