Andrew Nembhard Rumors

The Hawks have 17 players under contract after adding Dort and Nembhard, so they must subtract two by the time the season starts. Nembhard fills a need for a third point guard and seems unlikely to be the odd man out. Guard Buddy Hield is still on the books for $9 million but does not appear to be in the team’s plans, while guard Devin Carter (acquired in a salary dump from the Sacramento Kings) and forward Mo Gueye (on a non-guaranteed deal but out three to four months after surgery for a broken foot) are other potential casualties. Another trade, of course, is always possible. Atlanta also still has Bird rights on Kuminga that could be used in a sign-and-trade.

Josh Lewenberg: The Canadian co-captains, SGA & Brooks, have been great but Andrew Nembhard's been the best player on the floor tonight. 23 pts in 22 mins, 9-11 FG, 5-7 3P (including a nasty step-back just now). Told us the other day he was itching to play after an early start to his offseason.

“We talk a lot about just staying with the process,” Nembhard said. “I think it’s the competitiveness, bringing that energy every night, kind of when the season’s getting to the end, and it’s already out of (playoff) contention. It’s something you’ve got to work on. It’s only going to make us better for next season, having that competitive energy when it doesn’t really matter.”

Tony East: I asked Rick Carlisle about Andrew Nembhard only playing the first half tonight. He noted “They were just going to play one half” re: him and Zubac. Obviously prudent to have that be the same half.
