The Atlanta Hawks<\/a> are hot.<\/p>\n

They’ve surged beyond the play-in spots and into a secure playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.<\/p>\n

Recently, though, they ran into an injury that will hurt their cause. The center Jock Landale is out.<\/p>\n

They needed a replacement, and they found one in free agency.<\/p>\n

ESPN’s Shams Charania reported Saturday that the Hawks have signed Tony Bradley to a contract.<\/p>\n

Bradley is 6-foot-10, a 28 year old originally from Florida.<\/p>\n

He played college basketball at North Carolina, and he was the No. 28 overall pick (first round) in the 2017 NBA Draft. The Lakers<\/a> took him but immediately traded his draft rights to the Jazz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bradley has averaged 4.3 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in his NBA career while shooting 62.1% from the floor.<\/p>\n

This season, Bradley had played in 38 games for the Indiana Pacers<\/a> and averaged 4.0 points and 2.8 rebounds.<\/p>\n

He won’t get tons of minutes for Atlanta, but Bradley is a logical pickup that the Hawks are hoping will work out.<\/p>\n
