The Atlanta Hawks went 0-for-5 in NBA 2K25 Summer League in Las Vegas, losing by an average of fewer than six points per game.
It was a disappointing showing even coming off a 36-win season, their fewest wins since 2019-20.
The Hawks also missed the postseason for the first time since 2019-20 With training camp in September and the regular season starting up in October, it was the first look at No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. Of course, only some of the faces on the summer Hawks will make the big roster.
The Hawks already have 14 guaranteed contracts including top stars Trae Young and Jalen Johnson. They have room for one more guaranteed deal.
For the other group, the preseason offers one final shot to make an impression.
Atlanta Hawks full 2024 preseason schedule
Here is the Hawks’ full preseason schedule, including when and where fans can tune in.
Note: All times Eastern
Opponent | Date | Time |
|---|---|---|
vs Pacers | October 8 | 7:30 pm |
@ Heat | October 10 | 7:30 pm |
vs 76ers | October 14 | 7:30 pm |
@Thunder | October 17 | 8:00 pm |
The Hawks face a preseason slate rich with Eastern Conference contenders, including Paul George and the new-look Philadelphia 76ers. Tyrese Haliburton’s Indiana Pacers and Jimmy Butler’s Miami Heat are hardly pushovers.
Their lone Western Conference opponent, the Thunder, finished the 2023-24 regular season as the No. 1 seed on that side.
The Hawks went 4-10 versus those teams during the 2023-24 regular season.
Where to buy tickets to the Hawks' home preseason games
Hawks preseason tickets are currently available on StubHub for all four games, with tickets starting at $224 and up to $480 each for their tilt against the Pacers. Fans can expect similar pricing for the 76ers matchup. Vivid Seats has fewer options but cheaper pricing.
