UPDATE:Vivlamore is now reporting that the team has sent Jared Cunningham back to Bakersfield.

It has been 12 days since theAtlanta Hawks sent rookie point guard Dennis Schröder to the D-League, but according to one report, he’s on his way back to Atlanta.

Schröder had a lot of success while in Bakersfield, averaging 17 points and 6.7 assists per game, but his trip to the West Coast was chiefly to gain extra experience in running a professional club, and that was the big takeaway. He played 34 minutes a night over the nearly 2 weeks, and that is invaluable in his development as a potentially high-end NBA point guard.

It is unclear whether Schröder will be available whenthe Hawks take on the Lakers on Monday night, but even if he was, it is a great possibility that he wouldn’t see the floor. For the time being, the Hawks are set behind Jeff Teague, as Shelvin Mack’s emergence has continued with Dennis in the D-League, and Lou Williams is now looking like his old self, and fully capable of playing point guard in a pinch.

Either way, it’s encouraging to see the Hawks 2013 1st-round pick back with the big club, and hopefully, we’ll see more of him in the near future.
