The Atlanta Hawks are always a team who plays on MLK Day.

However, this past season, the Hawks played the New York Knicks (at Madison Square Garden) on the holiday.

Many fans were surprised that the game was not hosted in Atlanta.

For the 2026 season, the Hawks will host the Milwaukee Bucks on MLK Day.

Via The Atlanta Hawks: "We are back at home for MLK Day this season!"

One person who reacted to the news was Hawks All-Star point guard Trae Young.

His post had over 2,000 likes and 49,000 impressions.

Young wrote: "The fact we were EVER away on this day is crazy to me but hey, the NBA did the right thing this year! ☺️"
