Lu Dort Joins Hawks With High School Buddy | Atlanta Hawks News

Lu Dort is officially headed to Atlanta, joining forces with his high school buddy Nickeil Alexander-Walker in a move that could supercharge the Hawks’ title hopes. After dominating the Thunder for years with elite defense and clutch shooting, Dort brings championship experience and instant chemistry with Alexander-Walker — who just won Most Improved Player. Their recent heroics together for Canada (Dort dropped 25, Alexander-Walker led the team) prove they’re still deadly on the court. With Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels already making All-NBA and All-Defensive teams, Atlanta’s young core gets a veteran leader ready to elevate their game — and the city’s Haitian community will be thrilled to welcome him. This isn’t just a roster upgrade; it’s a statement: the Hawks are building for deep playoff runs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
