Once the decision was formally made to omit the Hawks and seven other NBA franchises from the “bubble,” Hawks president of basketball operations Travis Schlenk and head coach Lloyd Pierce issued a joint statement, which concluded the statement that the team remains “engaged in finding ways for our team to compete and continue the important growth and development that was a core focus for our team this season.”
