The Atlanta Hawks today announced the team has signed guard Kevin Huerter to a contract extension, which begins with the 2022-23 season.
“It was important to our group to secure Kevin as a part of our team moving forward,” said Hawks President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Travis Schlenk. “He’s developed into a versatile, two-way player who can fit any lineup and can play minutes all over the perimeter. We are excited his future is in Atlanta.”
In a related move, the Rockets have waived forward Anthony Lamb.
Four Bucks players out for season opener
Kane Pitman: As expected, the Bucks list Rodney Hood (foot), Bobby Portis (hamstring), Semi Ojeleye (calf) and Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) out for opening night against Brooklyn, while Kyrie Irving (not with team) is out for the Nets. Sandro Mamukelashvili is the back up big for Milwaukee.
Kellan Olson: Asked Monty Williams about the Cardinals’ COVID-19 outbreak: “This thing is real. I’ve had family members affected by it. Early on I lost a niece. I’m on my kids about their masks in school. It’s a health issue. It’s not politics, it’s a health issue. We gotta stay on top of it.”
Village Roadshow has signed NBA star Kevin Garnett to a first-look partnership, which will span television, film and digital content. Garnett runs Content Cartel Studios with partners Brian Bennett and Mike Marangu.
