ATLANTA -– The Atlanta Hawks honored guard Malcolm Delaney with the Jason Collier Memorial Trophy before tonight’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is the 13th consecutive season the club has presented the award, earned annually by the player who most closely exemplifies the characteristics of a community ambassador displayed by Collier, the late Hawks center who passed away in 2005.
During the 2017-18 campaign, Delaney positively impacted youth and communities throughout Atlanta and his hometown of Baltimore. In November, the Virginia Tech product assisted with a Thanksgiving meal giveaway for 200 families in Atlanta’s English Avenue neighborhood during the club’s Season of Giving.
