Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Ordinarily wouldn’t need to highlight it but Hawks have had a busy two weeks:
AJ ASW
Nate – Joe – Quin
Trae game-winner
Bogi looking healthy
But Dejounte has had two really good games coming out of break. Hawks don’t go 2-0 without them. – 6:17 PM

Doug Smith @SmithRaps
Commute to the arena ends with news Raptors add Will Barton and jettison Juancho Hernangomez in last-minute playoff eligible move
Barton, 32, last with Wizards may give Raptors wing offence deep i rotation. A nothing-ventured-nothing-gained move; Bo Cruz just never panned out – 3:56 PM

Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Barton is 32 and while he didn’t have a great year in Washington, has been a consistent producer prior. Last 5yrs in Denver scored 14 ppg on solid efficiency (Jokic probably helps😂). Has playoff experience and can shoot it. Not a bad pickup for Toronto: basketball-reference.com/players/b/bart… – 3:38 PM

Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespn
ESPN Sources: Free agent G Will Barton is signing with the Toronto Raptors. After completing buyout with Wizards, Barton will join Toronto and be eligible for a playoff roster. He’s played in 29 career postseason games with Nuggets and Blazers. – 3:30 PM

Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
When Devin Booker came back from groin injury, he played at Brooklyn, but didn’t play next game at Atlanta. Injury management.
Monty Williams said he didn’t know if #Suns will follow same strategy with Kevin Durant, who’ll make debut tomorrow at Hornets.
Suns at Bulls Friday. pic.twitter.com/wH6Thkb9R0 – 2:49 PM
