Mike Muscala’s return to the Atlanta Hawks has been a (very) open secret for almost three weeks. On Tuesday afternoon, though, the Hawks officially announced that the now-veteran big man has re-signed with the organization and Muscala visited with the assembled media.
“I'm really excited to be back to Atlanta,” Muscala said. “This is obviously where I started and where my fiance is from so we're excited to be back.”
The 26-year-old Muscala was greeted with a question about quickly becoming one of the more “senior” players on Atlanta’s roster and, while he certainly isn’t long in the tooth by NBA standards, he appears ready for the challenge.
