Kemba Walker and Cam Reddish are listed as out for tonight’s game.
Kemba’s situation is noteworthy. He’d been listed as questionable for over a week before games and Thibodeau kept teasing a quick return. Now he’s downgraded to out. – 1:06 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Nate McMillan on Butler:
“He’s tough. Defensively, he’s going to bring it. Offensively, he creates opportunities for them playing with the ball.”

“He’s really the key to that group. They’ve added Lowry, another veteran, another champion to that system. It makes it tough.” – 7:24 PM

Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
Nate McMillan on the Heat developing youth:
“They do a great job of drafting players, finding players and plugging them into their system.”
“With all of the injuries they have had, they’ve been able to continue to get to their style of play, both offensively and defensively.” – 7:23 PM

Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz
Remarkable when you think about nearly every Heat young player surpassing expectations this year. “That’s the system that I am talking about,” Hawks coach Nate McMillan said. “They do a great job of drafting players, finding players and plugging them into their system.” – 7:16 PM

Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
I asked Nate McMillan how challenging it was to manage the situation knowing for months that Cam Reddish didn’t want to be in Atlanta anymore.

Nate McMillan said that De’Andre Hunter practiced and hasn’t had any setbacks. – 12:38 PM

Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Clint Capela did not participate in practice today, per Nate McMillan.
De’Andre Hunter DID go through practice, after his first game back from injury last night. – 12:31 PM

Jason Walker @JasonWalkerNBA
Solomon Hill traded, too. Nate McMillan is reportedly locked in his office, with only the light of a soft candle and the music of Lou Rawls to console him. – 12:11 PM

Nate McMillan on that third quarter, which the Hawks lost 30-16:
“We just weren’t able to sustain, really, anything.” – 10:13 PM

More on this storyline

Chris Fedor: I was told that though the Cavs had expressed interest in Cam Reddish in the past, and they checked in on his availability with the Atlanta Hawks… one thing that I’m told from a source is that the intel that they got back was not flattering when it came to Cam Reddish. -via Spotify / January 15, 2022

Barbara Barker: “Sometimes a change of scenery is good for people. So we will see how it unfolds,” Thibs said of Reddish. “Everyone’s path is different. Some guys get off to fast starts. Some guys get off to slow starts…..He comes in and it’s a fresh start for him.” -via Twitter @meanbarb / January 14, 2022

Sarah K. Spencer: Schlenk on Reddish: “Cam had come to us during the offseason & expressed the desire to maybe get to a situation where he could have a little bigger role.” Said Reddish went about it in the right way. Schlenk told him if they found something that works, they’d take a look at it. -via Twitter @sarah_k_spence / January 14, 2022
