Sports Illustrated Atlanta Hawks News, Analysis and More
The Atlanta Hawks are playing basketball this week as part of the NBA Abu Dhabi Games. They play the Milwaukee Bucks on October 6 and 8. Head coach Nate McMillan needs to balance giving Trae Young and Dejounte Murray time to gel and evaluating younger talent.
The Hawks have 16 players on full contracts and two Two-Way contracts. After the trade with the Thunder, the team is under the salary cap and will avoid paying the luxury tax. The roster for the regular season seems clear, but rotations will be determined in part by the teams' four preseason games.
