It does not appear that Edy Tavares’ first stint in the NBA Development League will be a long one.
The 7-foot-3 center was assigned to the D-League Tuesday night. His destination still be determined by the flexible assignment process. Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer spoke of the Tavares assignment before Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans and indicated he will be back soon to continue his development.
“You’ve heard it for a couple years how much we believe in the D-League,” Budenholzer said.
