ATLANTA — Tony Ressler had one early objective when his ownership group bought the Atlanta Hawks last June.
"From the first day I toured our practice facilities, I felt that the Atlanta Hawks were and are at a professional disadvantage facilities-wise," Ressler said. "My view was that it was job No. 1 to change that. That was absolutely our first and highest objective."
The Hawks announced Tuesday they've partnered with Emory Healthcare to build a new practice facility and move team headquarters to a new campus a few miles north of Philips Arena before the 2017-18 season.
