Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin joined Dukes & Bell and talked about the team's offseason thus far including the reason why Cam Reddish is not playing in summer league.
When asked why Reddish wasn’t participating in summer league.
“There are two pieces, Cam was gonna play and Okongwu was gonna play. And you know the big O unfortunately is injured and had to have surgery,” Koonin said. “And the way Cam felt coming back from the playoffs, he did not feel rested and we saw a great performance in the playoffs. So he asked to opt out and we said great.
“Our rookies and our two-ways, and our G-league team will get more time, it’s five games it’s no big deal. But when we thought Cam was gonna be playing for us we weren’t seeing him playing Game 5 and Game 6 against Milwaukee like he did.”
