The Atlanta Hawks are reportedly sending 7-3 center Walter Tavares to the D-League.
The Atlanta Hawks will assign rookie center Walter Tavares to the NBA D-League according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Chris Vivlamore. Since the Hawks are without a D-League affiliate, where Tavares will be headed has yet to be determined.
