Atlanta Announces Starting Lineup For Tonight’s Game vs the Bulls
The Atlanta Hawks are going to be down two starters again tonight with Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye not suiting up. Dylan Windler and Keaton Wallace are playing tonight and in the starting lineup for the Hawks.
G- Keaton Wallace
G- Dylan Windler
F- Moses Wood
F- E.J. Liddell
C- Rob Baker
The Hawks have yet to get a win this Summer, but hoping to change that tonight.
With Durisic and Bufkin out, Keaton Wallace has taken over at point guard and there have been mixed results. The first game saw Wallace be really solid on both ends of the floor and even earn him a two-way contract. The second game vs the Spurs was not as good, but he bounced back on Wednesday night vs the Lakers, scoring 13 points and shooting 2-4 from three. Wallace is going to be one of the most intriguing players to watch on the Hawks this season from a developmental perspective.
Emmitt Matthews got the start in place of Risacher last game, but only played 14 minutes and shot the ball just once. Windler is starting there tonight.
Rob Baker will start at center again tonight for the Hawks. Baker has been solid so far in Summer League, with his best performances coming in the last two games.
Off the bench, Jarkel Joiner, Miles Norris, and Jonathan Bowden should see playing time tonight. Bowden got his first chance to play on Wednesday and it was an uneven performance. Joiner and Norris have been two of the Hawk’s best players off the bench this Summer, with Joiner having a great game on Wednesday with 27 points on 4-7 shooting from three.
Here is how you can watch tonight’s game.

4 passengers injured as hundreds evacuate Delta flight by emergency slide in Atlanta
Hundreds of passengers were forced to evacuate a Delta airlines flight by emergency slides in snowy conditions Friday after an aborted takeoff in Atlanta — leading to at least four injuries and one hospitalization, authorities said.
Roughly 200 people hurriedly deplaned Minneapolis-bound flight 2668 on the tarmac at Atlanta International Airport at 9:10 a.m. due to an engine problem, airline officials said.
Footage posted on social media shows frazzled travelers, including children, running with their luggage from a Boeing 757-300 plane in several inches of snow, according to atlantanewsfirst.com.
Four passengers reported minor injuries and one was taken to the hospital, while the others were treated at the scene, the airport said.
Details about the engine problems were not immediately clear.
Delta apologized to passengers for the nerve-wracking experience.
“Delta’s flight crew followed established procedures to suspend the takeoff of flight…after an indication of an engine issue,” Delta said in a statement.
“Nothing is more important than the safety of our people and customers, and we apologize to our customers for their experience.”
