Atlanta Hawks Rumors
Get a free trial Paul, 39, only joined San Antonio on a one-year pact, and for the stabilizing presence the future Hall of Famer will surely bring, he is not the long-term pick-and-roll partner the Spurs are looking to pair with Wembanyama for the next decade. And as long as that role remains undetermined, playmakers from Trae Young — who had the Spurs on his wishlist of next teams, sources said, if Young had moved this summer — to Josh Giddey, who also held an interest in joining San Antonio, sources said, before Oklahoma City moved Giddey to Chicago in exchange for Alex Caruso, will point to the Spurs as a desired home alongside Wemby.
Zaccharie Risacher, Hawks: The draft’s top pick only played two games, but he showed flashes of spicy ball skills to go with impressive height for a wing at 6-10 (and the Hawks do see him as a true wing, by the way, somebody who can reliably guard twos and threes). He had a coast-to-coast glide for a lefty dunk in transition in his first game and a behind-the-back dribble into a behind-the-back dish to a corner shooter that didn’t make the evening highlight reels because the shot missed. Risacher also showed a bit of craft with his off hand, using an in-and-out left-handed dribble to set up a lefty bank shot over Sarr’s length for his first summer bucket.

Women like Boucek have already shattered barriers in the NBA. Many dream of not simply coaching in the NBA, but perhaps one day ascending to the ultimate front seat: head coach. But no woman has yet broken through that ceiling. The number of women in assistant-coaching roles soared just a few years ago, during the middle of Hammon’s tenure in San Antonio, when a record nine women served as assistant coaches during the 2019-20 season. “I was in uncharted territory,” says Niele Ivey, who was an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies that season and is now head coach of Notre Dame’s women’s basketball team. “I felt really empowered, and confidence was at an all-time high.” But the number of women who are NBA assistant coaches has quietly decreased over the past few seasons. In 2020-21, there were eight women coaches; in 2021-22, seven; in 2022-23, six. This season, there are just five: Boucek, Mery Andrade (Raptors), Brittni Donaldson (Hawks), Sidney Dobner (Bucks), and Sonia Raman (Grizzlies).
