The Timberwolves will have a sort of homecoming three ways in Atlanta tonight when they open a quick two-game trip that ends a grueling January.
Starting point guard Jeff Teague played his first eight NBA seasons there for the Hawks.
Young swingman Marcus Georges-Hunt grew up 15 minutes from Philips Arena and played college ball a couple long three-pointers away at Georgia Tech.
Jamal Crawford played two seasons here 2009 to 2011. Those were his first two seasons playing in a new Sixth-Man role.
Teammates Al Horford and Paul Millsap are long gone from Atlanta and the remade Hawks have moved on at point guard with Dennis Schroder after they traded him back home to Indiana in summer 2016.
