Hawks may consider trading former No. 1 pick Zaccharie Risacher amid slow development and growing win-now pressure.

The Hawks haven’t always played badly in this stretch; they lost at the buzzer to a good Knicks team and were beaten by a phantom call in the second loss to the Bulls. The underlying stats still say they’re more of an average team than a bad one — 16th in offense, 17th in defense, 18th in Net Rating.

The rumors are starting to pick up about the Dallas Mavericks looking to trade star forward/center Anthony Davis. While some people think finding a trade may be difficult, the Atlanta Hawks seem to be fully in the mix.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 39 points and the Oklahoma City Thunder used a big third quarter to beat the skidding Atlanta Hawks 140-129.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder will host Dyson Daniels and the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. CST Monday. OKC (27-5) secured a 129-104 home win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday. Atlanta (15-18) fell short in a 128-125 home loss to the New York Knicks on Saturday.

Unfortunately, that's the case ahead of their showdown with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The Hawks announced on Sunday that Johnson has been ruled out for the game due to an undisclosed illness.

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young received some harsh criticism from a New York Knicks commentator on Saturday.

It was just a few short weeks ago when the Atlanta Hawks surprised many people with their success despite the absence of Trae Young. Atlanta got off to a 9-5 start.
