Hawks scour the landscape of help down low

Via Fox Sports South  |  February 03, 2012
At the start of the season, the Atlanta Hawks boasted decent depth at the center position. Start with All-Star Al Horford. Next in line was Zaza Pachulia, who could provide some scoring, toughness and rebounding off the bench. Third on the depth chart was 7-footer Jason Collins, whose defense on Orlandos Dwight Howard proved instrumental in the Hawks playoff victory over their Southeast...

Atlanta Hawks center Jason Collins is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks with a sprained left elbow.

Hawks center Jason Collins had an MRI on his sprained left elbow Friday. While the team waits for the results, coach Larry Drew ruled Collins out for Saturday’s home game against the 76ers. It also appears that one possibility for big man help – free agent Kenyon Martin – won’t be joining the Hawks. “He won’t be ready tomorrow, that’s for sure,&...

Atlanta Hawks: Good fit for Fesenko?

Via ajc.com  |  February 05, 2012
The Hawks plan to sign a center and it almost certainly will be a guy on a 10-day contract rather than a permanent addition. They’ve discussed Kyrylo Fesenko, Erick Dampier and Dan Gadzuric but, as far as I know, they haven’t inquired with those guys yet to gauge their interest in a short-term gig in Atlanta. I’ve always thought Fesenko, the massive 7-foot Ukranian...

I want talk too much about the game, except that Jeff Teague led the Hawks in scoring with 21, and...
