Game notes and more

  • The Atlanta Hawks were a hip NBA Finals contender ahead of the season, yet even in a rollercoaster of a season they’ve failed to kick their play-in addiction. They’ve traded their franchise player in Trae Young, minted a new All-Star in Jalen Johnson, rolled the dice on Jonathan Kuminga and watched Zaccharie Risacher, who they selected no. 1 overall last year, fail to make an impact. They are still the same middling old Hawks, and they currently sit at a meager 28-31, fending off a challenge from the flaming hot Charlotte Hornets.
  • The aforementioned Young was, as any reader of this site is no doubt aware, traded to the Wizards ahead of the trade deadline. He has yet to make his debut, and it is unknown whether he will be playing this season or not, as all team-issued updates have been quite vague.
