The Atlanta Hawks continue to utilize the D-League as an opportunity for their young players.
Saturday night will be a busy night for Atlanta Hawks players in the D-League. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore reports that the team has assigned shooting guard Lamar Patterson to the Austin Spurs of the NBA D-League via the flexible assignment rule.

Patterson will be in uniform tonight when the Spurs take on the Reno Bighorns at 8 p.m. ET. Patterson went scoreless in six minutes off the bench for the Hawks in Friday's win over the Lakers.
