Nate McMillan Rumors
Sarah K. Spencer: Onyeka Okongwu has been doing more live work, per Nate McMillan. In the next couple days, he’ll go to the Skyhawks to play 5-on-5 in practice. “We slowly are trying to build him up.” After a couple practices, they’ll see if Okongwu can play in a G League game, per McMillan.
Sarah K. Spencer: Nate McMillan on Onyeka Okongwu: “Getting close where he’s starting to do some things live, but he played a little 3-on-3 yesterday and came out OK.” McMillan said there’s no timeline on his return yet and Hawks will be cautious with Okongwu.
Sarah K. Spencer: Nate McMillan: “We know we’ve got to play better. We’re capable of playing better on the road. And we want to gain some ground, make up some games, as we did when we came home.” Hawks are 8-1 at home and 1-8 on the road to start the year.
Sarah K. Spencer: Nate McMillan said he enjoyed attending a @CPSkyhawks game: “I’m looking at our players, Sharife and Skylar and Jalen down there and how they’re playing. That’s not a punishment for those guys to go down there, it’s an opportunity for them to get some minutes and play.”
Sarah K. Spencer: Nate McMillan on the Hawks’ pace the past few games: “We’re getting better, but I want us to play faster. I think we have to play with more speed out on the floor, get out into transition, but it starts with, again, getting stops.”
Sarah K. Spencer: Nate McMillan on Trae Young: “It was good to see that ball go in for us, and he came out very aggressive. He felt a rhythm, and just stayed with it.” McMillan says he thought Young established a great tempo for the Hawks tonight.
