The NBA has canceled the Atlanta Hawks' planned 'Magic City Night' promotion for their March 16 home game against the Orlando Magic at State Farm Arena. The event, announced February 26, aimed to celebrate Atlanta's iconic Magic City strip club through food, music, merchandise, and a podcast, but drew criticism over concerns of objectification and the league's image, including from San Antonio Spurs center Luke Kornet and former Hawk Al Horford.
The Atlanta Hawks secured a 124-112 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, extending their winning streak to seven games, the longest active in the NBA. Standout performances from Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Jalen Johnson fueled the win, while the Mavericks continued their slide with an eighth straight loss. This result positions the Hawks one game behind the Philadelphia 76ers for seventh in the Eastern Conference.

The Atlanta Hawks (30-31) host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at State Farm Arena for their second regular-season meeting, riding a three-game winning streak. The game tips off at 6:00 p.m. ET on FanDuel Sports Network Southeast or Rip City TV.
The Atlanta Hawks have traded star guard Trae Young to the Washington Wizards in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert. This move ends months of speculation about Young's future with Atlanta and provides the Wizards with a four-time All-Star at a low cost. The trade gives the Hawks significant cap flexibility for further roster moves.

The Atlanta Hawks have officially traded four-time All-Star Trae Young to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, as first reported earlier this week. The deal provides salary cap relief for the 18-21 Hawks, who sit ninth in the East and could pivot to buyers before the February 5, 2026, deadline.
The Atlanta Hawks have shown improved performance since Trae Young's MCL sprain early in the season. With a strong record and solid rankings in key areas, the team faces questions about reintegrating their star point guard. Young's status is now questionable for Thursday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.
