LAS VEGAS — The Summer League Hawks fell to 0-2 on Saturday with a 90-66 loss to Minnesota. However, all eyes were on De’Andre Hunter and Bruno Fernando. The 2019 draftees were finally cleared to play after the NBA processed much of the transaction backlog that was impacted by a significant number of trades that could not technically be finalized until the end of the free agency moratorium.
Each of Atlanta’s two losses could not have been more different. In Saturday’s loss to the Bucks, the Hawks looked like a fairly organized team, but one that lacked the upper-tier talent to put the game away at any point.
