The Atlanta Hawks are back on a losing streak. Just when it looked like the Hawks were starting to piece things together with wins over the Pelicans, Nuggets, and Warriors, Atlanta has put together four of its worst performances of the season all in a row.
A season for the Hawks that started with so much promise has quickly turned into a nightmare. I wrote last month that the season was close to being flushed down the drain for good if they didn’t improve on three key areas.
There has only been one trade this NBA season and it has been the Hawks sending star point guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert.
The Atlanta Hawks will be without two of their key frontcourt players for at least another week, as Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher continue to recover from injuries that have already kept them sidelined for six straight games.
When the Atlanta Hawks made the trade to send Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, there was hope that McCollum would be able to fit in with the offense and give the Hawks plenty of scoring ability while also giving them another ball handler.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.
The Atlanta Hawks suffered their fourth successive loss, and a loss at home on MLK Day on Monday afternoon in a closely fought 112-100 defeat to the Milwaukee Bucks.
Today, the Atlanta Hawks came into this game off an embarrassing loss on Saturday. The Hawks were back home again for Martin Luther King Day to take on the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Hawks needed to flush that awful performance from the other night and come out with a renewed focus today on their annual MLK Day game. Corey Kispert earned his first start with the Hawks at the 3, and Dyson Daniels made his return after a one-game absence.
The Hawks are playing the waiting game with two important pieces. Atlanta announced Monday that Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher are both making progress and will be re-evaluated in about a week.
The Atlanta Hawks are on a three game losing streak coming into Monday's contest with the Milwaukee Bucks and some of that is due to the fact that second year forward Zaccharie Risacher and prized offseason acquisition Kristaps Porzingis have missed the last five games.
The Hawks provided injury updates (via Twitter) Monday morning on Kristaps Porzingis and Zaccharie Risacher, saying both players are making progress with their recoveries and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.
ATLANTA, GA – All halves are not created the same in the game of basketball, but there could be patterns of how the results happened. In two of the last three games for the Atlanta Hawks, they’ve given up 80 points in the first half.
You could feel the air leave State Farm Arena somewhere in the middle of the second quarter. It wasn’t a slow leak; it was a sudden vacuum, sucked out of the room by a Boston Celtics offense that didn’t just heat up—it went nuclear.
It has been a turbulent stretch for the Atlanta Hawks. Trades, rumors, lineup changes, and inconsistent results have tested even the most patient fans.
The Atlanta Hawks had an opening on their 18-man roster for over a week. However, the Hawks filled that spot earlier this evening with the inking of Christian Koloko to a two-way deal, per Lauren L.
Atlanta fans will get their first glimpse at the new-look Hawks on Saturday when the club returns home to entertain the Boston Celtics. The Hawks have been on a four-game West Coast road trip since the team traded away all-star point guard Trae Young on Jan.
Shaedon Sharpe recorded 24 points, nine rebounds and five assists to help the host Portland Trail Blazers record a 117-101 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday night.
The Hawks have been embroiled in trade rumors for weeks and have already made the first mid-season blockbuster deal, sending Trae Young to the Wizards, but that only appears to be the tip of the iceberg.
The Atlanta Hawks entered the 2025-26 season with quiet belief around the league, but Anthony Davis has now emerged in trade talk, as many saw them as a dark horse in the East.
The Atlanta Hawks were the team most closely connected to Anthony Davis trade rumors, but with his recent hand injury, a potential deal is now all but impossible.
The Golden State Warriors' newest starting lineup has been getting definitively outscored over the past month. Head coach Steve Kerr is in no hurry to change it.
The Atlanta Hawks have been one of the few teams consistently linked to Anthony Davis for weeks leading up to the trade deadline, and that noise only grew louder after Trae Young was traded, with ESPN’s Shams Charania suggesting a move for Davis could be coming down the pike.
The Washington Wizards didn't have a lot of competitors when they dealt for Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young. They still made the move a month before the trade deadline.
