    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 7/25/17 CONTACT: Garin Narain, Jon Steinberg or Jason Roose, Hawks Media Relations (404) 878-3800 ATLANTA HAWKS RE-SIGN MIKE MUSCALA ATLANTA, GA – The Atlanta Hawks Basketball Club has re-signed forward Mike Muscala, it was announced today by General Manager and Head of Basketball Operations Travis Schlenk. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Last season in 70 games (three starts) with the Hawks, Muscala averaged career-highs of 6.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 17.7 minutes (.504 FG%, .418 3FG%, .766 FT%). He scored in double figures 20 times, ranking second on the club in FG% and fifth in rpg. “Mike is a valuable player for us and a great fit both on and off the floor,” Schlenk said. “He’s worked hard and improved each year, and we’re very happy he’ll continue his career with the Hawks.” In 190 career contests (11 starting assignments) in four years with Atlanta, the 6’11 forward/center is averaging 4.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 13.3 minutes (.505 FG%, .385 3FG%, .817 FT%), also appearing in 27 postseason games. Muscala was the recipient of the 2016 Jason Collier Memorial Trophy, presented to the player who best exemplifies the characteristics that Collier displayed off the court as a community ambassador. Originally acquired by the Hawks on June 28, 2013, along with the draft rights to Lucas Nogueira and Jared Cunningham from Dallas, in exchange for the draft rights to Shane Larkin, Muscala was the 44 th overall pick by the Mavericks in the 2013 NBA Draft.

Lee, who spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Bucknell, was the 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year for the Bisons and ranks 22nd on the school’s all-time scoring list. After graduating with a degree in business management, the Gaithersburg, MD native played professionally in Israel, Belgium and Germany.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 1/21/15 CONTACT: Garin Narain, Jon Steinberg or Jason Roose, Hawks Media Relations (404) 878-3800 MIKE BUDENHOLZER AND STAFF TO COACH EASTERN CONFERENCE ALL-STAR TEAM First Hawks Coach Since Lenny Wilkens in 1993-94 to Earn Honor ATLANTA, GA ----- Atlanta Hawks Head Coach Mike Budenholzer and his staff will coach the Eastern Conference All-Star team at the 2015 NBA All-Star Game at Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday, February 15. With tonight’s win against Indiana, the Hawks have clinched the East’s best record through games of February 1. “It’s a credit to our players, our front office and our entire organization. I really feel strongly about our assistant coaches; I think they do an amazing job,” Budenholzer said. “It’s a great honor but it’s our players that put us in this position. It’s the players that deserve the credit.” In his second year as Hawks’ head coach, Budenholzer has led the Hawks to a 35-8 mark (.814), the best start in Atlanta history through 43 games. The Hawks are currently on a 14-game overall win streak, equaling the longest in franchise history, and have won the last 12 on the road, a new franchise mark. Atlanta has posted a 28-2 mark (.933) over the last 30 games.
