After the Hawks' significant win, coach Justin Tatum addressed a report about departed import JaQuori McLaughlin, calling it 'false'.
Tatum stated that the team and McLaughlin mutually parted ways on Friday, prior to the Hawks' 116-89 win over the Brisbane Bullets.
The report was false, and that young man was nothing but a pleasure for our organisation and in our locker room, on and off the court.
Tatum's statement came in response to a report by Code Sports claiming McLaughlin was a 'cancer' in the locker room, which Tatum vehemently denied.
