The Atlanta Hawks had a dismal performance on Friday night vs. Chicago and, in the process of losing that game to the Bulls, Atlanta also lost rookie point guard Kingston Flemings to an injury.
Looking to end a nine-game losing skid, the Milwaukee Bucks host the local star Jalen Johnson and his Atlanta Hawks on Sunday night. Coming off his first All-Star campaign, Johnson, a Milwaukee-area native, has hit the ground running again.
Sometimes games in the NBA, or any other sport, for that matter, cannot be boiled down to just one stat, but in the case of the Atlanta Hawks' loss to the Chicago Bulls, it can.
Losses in November don't doom your season in the NBA, but if you are fighting for playoff positioning in April, you don't want to look back and wish you did not lose to a team that was 1-9 and on an eight game losing streak, missing an important player, and when you have the rest advantage.
The Atlanta Hawks were in action in the NBA Cup on Friday night but came up short in a 125-117 road loss in overtime against the Chicago Bulls. Jalen Johnson registered a triple-double of 27 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists and CJ McCollum added 20 points off the bench.
The draft lottery is where you usually find the NBA's biggest stars. That's not always the case, though, as some later picks have proven to be some of the greatest players ever.
After winning four straight games and surging to fourth in the Eastern Conference (where they still are this morning, to be fair), the Atlanta Hawks have
While Mouhamed Gueye is “progressing to on-court activities,” his return isn’t imminent. He’ll be reevaluated in about four weeks, according to the Hawks, with another update to come at that time (Twitter link).
The Atlanta Hawks are going to be back in action tomorrow night, the first time since a Monday night loss to the Lakers, and Atlanta is going to be on the road facing one of the worst teams in the NBA.
The Atlanta Hawks have had an up-and-down start to the season, currently sitting at 7-5 after a recent home loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. CJ McCollum has had a rough start to the year, not providing the kind of efficiency and half-court shot creation Atlanta was hoping for when they re-signed him this past offseason.
Typically, the path to the NBA for most players is to spend at least a season in college to get high-level basketball and important development under their belts.
The Atlanta Hawks lost to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, marking their 12th game of the season, but they have been off since then and will resume play on Friday night against the Chicago Bulls.
CJ McCollum might still be hitting key shots for the Atlanta Hawks on the court, but the 13-year NBA veteran is adding another major media gig to his resume.
The Atlanta Hawks played their 12th game of the season on Monday in their loss to the Lakers and at the time, they had played the most games of any team in the league.
It’s a common refrain that the jump to the NBA is hardest for young point guards. With how fast the game is, the high level of skill, and the physicality that seasoned veterans possess, quick adaptation to the level of competition is incredibly difficult.
After playing three games in four days, the Atlanta Hawks are off until Friday, when they resume NBA Cup action against the Chicago Bulls. Atlanta has played more games this season than any other NBA team, and they could use this week to recharge before beginning their schedule again.
The Hawks have enough young talent to make things interesting in the East. Whether they have enough to make a serious playoff run is a different question.
Luka Doncic returned from a back injury and powered the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-114 win over the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena on Monday. The Hawks were Doncic’s latest victim, but there is a world in which he’d be playing for them today, not the Lakers.
Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves are easily the NBA's highest-scoring pair of teammates. The Los Angeles Lakers showed they just need one of them, with two impressive road wins over two of the best teams in the Eastern Conference.
When Atlanta Hawks General Manager Onsi Saleh built this roster, depth was at the forefront. “We’re going to be a very competitive team, and that’s the expectation,” Saleh said.
Bronny James wasn’t having it with a heckler during Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Detroit Pistons. The son of four-time NBA Most Valuable Player LeBron James was captured on video getting into it with a fan at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Mich., seemingly annoyed by whatever the spectator did or said.
The Hawks gave up 70 points in the first half Saturday. Fortunately for them, they had another half to do something about it. They did plenty, rallying past the Nets for their fourth straight win behind Jalen Johnson’s return and a defense that finally started making Brooklyn uncomfortable.
Second-year Hawks big man Asa Newell will be reevaluated in about two weeks after suffering a left great toe hyperextension during Wednesday’s win in Washington, the team announced today (via Twitter).
The Atlanta Hawks brought CJ McCollum back on a one-year/$21 million contract this offseason. They also drafted Kingston Flemings with the eighth overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The Hawks didn’t make the big splash this offseason some hoped for. Instead, they opted to improve on the margins, strengthening their depth with the additions of Aaron Wiggins and Lu Dort, both of whom have been fantastic contributors through the first couple weeks of the season.
The Atlanta Hawks spent nearly a decade resting their hopes on one star point guard to carry them to greatness. Now, with that star on the opposite side of the court for the first time, it looks like another has emerged to fill the space he left behind.
It only cost the Atlanta Hawks a pair of second-round picks to acquire Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Two games into the season, Wiggins is looking like a massive bargain.
