Blake Wesley, Mike Brey reunite before respective NBA teams battle
In his first season as an Atlanta Hawks assistant, former Notre Dame coach Mike Brey has met up with some people. Look at what he’s put out on social media, and you’ll see him frequently encountering people connected to Notre Dame. His most recent such meeting was with Blake Wesley before the Hawks hosted the San Antonio Spurs in a Martin Luther King Jr. Day matinee:

Wesley didn’t play when the Spurs and Hawks met earlier this season, but he’s gotten many more minutes lately, so this had to feel extra meaningful for him. It had to be more memorable than the three points and three rebounds he had in a 109-99 Hawks victory.
This isn’t the first time this season Brey has reunited with one of his former players currently in the NBA. In late October, he got to see Pat Connaughton, Notre Dame’s other current NBA representative, when the Hawks visited the Milwaukee Bucks:

Brey could right a book about this season alone. He should have more time now that he’s not the head of a major college program anymore.
