Porziņģis detailed a postseason derailed by undiagnosed POTS and outlined a managed regimen as he begins a contract-year reboot in Atlanta. The Hawks bet on his pop threat and rim protection alongside Trae Young to retool identity and spacing. Atlanta assembled two-way wings and backline size to insulate Young on defense and turbocharge pace. Porziņģis’ high-depth pick-and-pops stretch to 28–30 feet, stressing pickup points and opening cuts; medical controls focus on salt intake and structured rest.

Atlanta extended Daniels after an MIP season and All-Defensive nod, leveraging elite steal rates and multi-positional coverage. The deal anchors a core with Trae Young, Jalen Johnson, and Zaccharie Risacher for a two-way rebuild. Daniels’ screen-navigation, point-of-attack disruption, and improving secondary creation justify top-tier wing-guard money. Cap planning anticipates incremental luxury-tax pressure offset by internal development and targeted vet minimum shooting.

Trae Young Ejected for ‘Mockery of the Game’ in Play-In Blowout

Trae Young was ejected from Atlanta’s 120–95 play-in loss to Orlando after receiving two technical fouls—one for firing a pass at a referee and another for kicking the ball away, actions the NBA deemed as “making a mockery of the game.”
Frustrated with what he felt was inconsistent officiating, Young said he acted to defend teammates like Dyson Daniels. Despite leading all scorers with 28 points, his ejection came with 4:47 left and Atlanta trailing by 22. The Hawks will face the winner of Bulls vs. Heat for the No. 8 seed.
