Emotional Trae Young honors Kobe Bryant with 45 in Hawks’ win
It wasn’t easy for Young, who was mentored by Bryant and had a special relationship with the former NBA star’s 13-year-old girl, nicknamed Gigi. “One of the last conversations we had, he was just telling me how much he’s seen my game progress and he’s just been happy for me,” Young said between pauses. “He […]

In a close loss to the Spurs on Wednesday evening, Williamson became the first NBA player — debut or not — to produce 20-plus points and seven rebounds while sinking four 3-pointers in under 20 minutes of play.

Brooks delivered 19 points last night and has averaged 16.4 PPG with 1.3 “stocks” (steals plus blocks) per […]

Found at seventh among shooting guards on the Player Rater during the past […]

In the overtime win over Atlanta, Robinson joined Kendrick Nunn, who delivered 36 points — one shy of the franchise rookie record set by Sherman “The General” Douglas back in 1990 — as the first pair of undrafted teammates to ever score at least 30 points in the same game in league history.
