Trae Young became the first rookie since Allen Iverson to finish with at least 35 points and 5 assists in back-to-back games. 

Young had 36 points and 8 assists against the Rockets, and 36 points and 10 assists against the Timberwolves.

Young also joined Iverson and Michael Jordan to become the 3rd rookie to reach the 35/5 mark in consecutive games since the 1976-77 season. 

The Atlanta Hawks will sign B.J. Johnson to a 10-day contract.

The Hawks have a roster spot available. They signed Jordan Sibert to a 10-day contract last week and converted the two-way contract of Jaylen Adams earlier this month.

Sibert’s 10-day contract expires on March 1.

Johnson went to Summer League with the Hornets and training camp with the Magic, who waived him and assigned him to their G League affiliate.

Jordan Sibert will sign a 10-day contract with the Atlanta Hawks.

The 26-year-old Sibert joins from the Eerie Bayhawks, where he shot 38% from the 3-point line.

The Hawks now have 14 players on their roster. 

Travis Schlenk said that the Atlanta Hawks were going to draft Luka Doncic had they kept the 3rd pick in last year's draft. 

"Not a lot of people know this...if we stayed at 3, we would have taken Luka. We had worked with his agent, he did a physical with us that morning in New York...but then Dallas came in an hour or so before the draft. I told them all along that it would take another lottery pick for us to slide back, and that's when the conversations got started," Schlenk stated on Adrian Wojnarowski's podcast.

The deal to move back two spots and receive a top-5 protected pick from the Mavs this season was influenced by analytics.   

"Our analytics staff was predicting Dallas to finish 8th this year," added Schlenk.

The Atlanta Hawks will convert Jaylen Adams' two-way deal into a regular NBA contract. Adams will also get a partial guarantee for the 2019-20 season.

The move comes after the Hawks waived Jeremy Lin.

The Hawks now have 13 players on their roster, and will need to sign one more player before February 21st. 

Jeremy Lin has agreed to a buyout with the Atlanta Hawks and will sign with the Toronto Raptors once he clears waivers.

Lin was traded by the Brooklyn Nets to the Hawks this past offseason.

Lin was on an expiring contract.

The Boston Celtics have agreed to trade Jabari Bird to the Atlanta Hawks.

The deal will save the Celtics on the luxury tax.

Bird hasn't played this season due to a domestic violence arrest.

Bird will be waived by the Hawks.

The Memphis Grizzlies have agreed to trade Shelvin Mack to the Atlanta Hawks for Tyler Dorsey.

Atlanta will waive Mack.

The future of Markelle Fultz with the Philadelphia 76ers remains uncertain.

Fultz is owed $9.75 million for the 19-20 season, which will be a problematic figure for the 76ers if they re-sign Jimmy Butler and Tobias Harris.

"Teams like Atlanta, Orlando, they've talked to Philadelphia on Markelle Fultz," said Adrian Wojnarowski. "There's a real possibility he's played his last game with the 76ers."

There is no timetable for when Fultz will be able to play again.

The Atlanta Hawks have made Taurean Prince available in a potential trade.

The Hawks want a pick and a young player in return for the 25-year-old.

Prince is up for an extension this summer.
