The San Antonio Spurs are trading All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray to the Atlanta Hawks for Danilo Gallinari and three first-round picks, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports. The Spurs will receive the Charlotte Hornets’ 2023 first-round pick from the Hawks in addition to Atlanta’s first-round picks in 2025 and 2027. The teams will also swap picks in 2026. The Spurs made the deal days after selecting combo guard Blake Wesley out of Notre Dame with the 26th pick of the draft. Murray, 26, has… Source link

Adreian Payne, the former Michigan State big man and 2014 first-round pick of the Atlanta Hawks, has died at age 31. According to a press release from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in Orlando, Fla., Payne was shot early Sunday morning and was pronounced dead on arrival at a local hospital. The alleged shooter, Lawrence Dority, stayed at the scene of the crime and cooperated with police. After questioning, he was arrested and jailed on a charge of first-degree murder.

The Milwaukee Bucks looked in trouble twice on Sunday after digging holes to start each half against the Atlanta Hawks. Both times they persevered.  In a game of runs, the Bucks mounted a pair of rallies and rode a hot Khris Middleton down the stretch to secure a 113-102 Game 3 win over the Hawks. With the win, they took a 2-1 series lead in the Eastern Conference finals. In addition to the loss, the Hawks carry concern from Game 3 about star guard Trae Young, who sprained his right ankle late… Source link

Nate McMillan was hesitant. The then-Atlanta Hawks assistant coach was months into his new position but facing an offer to take over for the recently fired Lloyd Pierce, the man who brought him to Atlanta after McMillan was dismissed by the Indiana Pacers. The Hawks were in Miami at the time, a young team that underachieved by the organization’s standards but not by many around the league. Pierce was a young coach with a sterling reputation, endorsed and supported around the NBA. Something… Source link

The NBA fined Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid $35,000 and suspended the Atlanta Hawks center Bruno Fernando one game without pay following the altercation between the teams in Game 6, the league announced on Sunday.  The 76ers and Hawks meet for Game 7 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. Tipoff is 8 p.m. ET on TNT. Fernando was suspended for leaving the bench area during the altercation and will serve it on Sunday.  Embiid fined for ‘escalating’ situation  Embiid fell on top of the… Source link

Apparently, the heavy wrap on Trae Young‘s shooting shoulder worked. Following an 0-for-5 start from the field, the Atlanta Hawks point guard had his right shoulder wrapped by trainers at the end of the first quarter. Backcourt mate Bogdan Bogdanovic limped to the sideline soon after. The Philadelphia 76ers stretched their first-half lead to 18 points, and the Hawks looked cooked — surely bound for a second straight home loss and a 3-1 uphill climb in the Eastern Conference semifinals.  But… Source link

The ease with which the Atlanta Hawks hung 74 first-half points on the Eastern Conference’s top-ranked defense in Game 1 of their second-round series on Sunday should proselytize any remaining nonbelievers. Trae Young did not empty his clip in Atlanta’s five-game, first-round series win over a New York Knicks team that was just happy to be there. Instead, he reloaded as if he carried 10 times the playoff experience, systematically targeting a Philadelphia 76ers team that features two of the… Source link
