Atlanta has rare days to practice and rest while the NBA Cup knockout stage goes on.
Hawks forward Jalen Johnson — pictured practicing during training camp in September — is coming off back-to-back triple-doubles. He had 21 points, 18 rebounds and a career-high 16 assists Friday in a loss to the Nuggets and 30 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in Saturday’s win over the Wizards. (Hyosub Shin/AJC)
The Hawks have one of the rare luxuries in the NBA this week: multiple consecutive practice days.
With the league running the knockout stage of the NBA Cup, teams that did not advance in the tournament will play two previously unscheduled games. The Hawks are among the 22 teams that did not advance to the next stage of the NBA Cup, and after their elimination the league added the remaining two games to their docket.
