Mack (shoulder) has been fully cleared for all basketball activities and was close to a full participant in Tuesday's training camp practice, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The Hawks could opt to limit Mack's minutes in the preseason after he underwent shoulder surgery last spring, but it appears there's nothing to worry about on the health front. After bouncing around between the NBA and the D-League in his first two seasons in the league, Mack appears to have found a home in Atlanta, where he proved to be a capable third point guard behind Jeff Teague and Dennis Schroder in 2014-15. The speedy Schroder seems more likely than Mack to receive a jump in minutes this coming season, but that shouldn't result in Mack's removal from the rotation entirely. Still, he'll probably need an injury or two before enjoying even fleeting fantasy relevance.
