The Hawks might have finally received some good news on the injury front as center Zaza Pachulia reported progress with his foot injury although he is still listed as day-to-day.

Pachulia is scheduled to have his foot re-examined sometime this weekend. The Hawks playoff series begins on Sunday at Philips Arena with Game 1 scheduled for a 7p.m. tipoff.

Pachulia has filled in admirably in place of Horford as the starting center for the Hawks. He suffered the foot injury against Orlando earlier this month and missed the last seven games of the regular season. It was originally thought as a simple strain but was quickly found to be more serious. Pachulia was reportedly wearing a walking boot on Thursday when he left Philips Arena following the team's shootaround.
