Hawks, Kings, Pacers Expected To Pursue Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby

Dec 11, 2023 11:41 AM

The Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings and Indiana Pacers are expected to pursue trades for Pascal Siakam or OG Anunoby, if the Toronto Raptors make either player available. The Raptors have told teams that Scottie Barnes is reportedly untouchable in trade talks.

The Hawks held intense discussions on a Siakam trade over the offseason. The Pacers and Kings have checked in with the Raptors on both Siakam and Anunoby over the last year.

Siakam is in the final season of his four-year contract with Toronto at $37.9 million for this year. Anunoby has a $19.9 million player option for next season that he's widely expected to opt out of in favor of unrestricted free agency.

Trae Young Fined $25K For Inappropriate Language Toward Game Official

Dec 9, 2023 7:07 PM

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young is a little lighter in the wallet after his last game on Wednesday. The NBA fined Young $25,000 for "confronting and directing inappropriate language toward a game official" in the Hawks loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

Young was upset several times throughout the game at what he thought were no-calls by the official. This included the game's final play where Young thought he was fouled as he missed a potential game-winning shot. The Hawks star immediately began going at the officials about a lack of a call on the would-be buzzer-beater.
