The Atlanta Hawks will retire the No. 44 uniform of Pete Maravich.
Maravich, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, played for three NBA teams before injuries forced his retirement in 1980. He played for the Hawks from 1970-74. He also played for the New Orleans/Utah Jazz and the Boston Celtics.
Maravich will join Bob Pettit (No. 9), Lou Hudson (23), Dominique Wilkins (No. 21) and Dikembe Mutombo (No. 55) as players to have their uniform number retired by the Hawks.
Maravich died at the age of 40 of heart failure while playing pick-up basketball on Jan. 5, 1988.
