Cam Reddish, the No. 10 overall pick in the 2019 draft, is averaging 11.9 points and 2.5 rebounds in 34 games.
ATLANTA — The struggling Atlanta Hawks traded forward Cam Reddish to the New York Knicks for a protected 2022 first-round draft pick on Thursday. Atlanta confirmed the move. Team officials, including Coach Nate McMillan, couldn’t comment on the trade before the deal becomes official. The Hawks also are sending forward Solomon Hill and a 2025 second-round pick to the Knicks, and small forward Kevin Knox is heading to Atlanta. The trade comes as the Hawks (17-23) have lost three consecutive games, and 7 of 9. Wednesday night’s 115-91 loss to Miami was the Hawks’ ninth consecutive home loss. Atlanta has fallen to 12th in the Eastern Conference standings one year after advancing to the conference finals. Reddish did not play against the Heat due to a right ankle sprain. The Hawks, who visit Miami on Friday night, must regroup quickly if they are to return to the playoffs. McMillan said the Hawks are not giving up on the season. “I mean, we’re not hitting the panic button,” McMillan said after Thursday’s practice. “There’s a lot of basketball left in this season. We’re not hitting the panic button.” McMillan and the Hawks are trying to reclaim their cohesiveness, especially on defense.
