Wizards' Saddiq Bey: Agrees to deal with Wizards
Saddiq Bey (knee) has agreed to a three-year, $20 million contract with the Washington Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Bey is coming off a down year in which he converted a career-low 31.6 percent of his three-point attempts across 63 regular-season games with the Hawks, but maybe a change of scenery will help him rediscover his sharpshooting ways. However, he's still rehabbing from an ACL tear that he suffered in March, so it's unlikely he'll be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season.

Saddiq Bey: Headed for free agency
The Hawks declined to extend Saddiq Bey (knee) an $8.49 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Bey tore his ACL on March 10, cutting short what will end up being his final season with the Hawks, barring him re-signing with the club. Before suffering the injury, the 25-year-old forward appeared in 63 games and averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 32.7 minutes. Given the nature of his injury, Bey will be sidelined for the start of the 2024-25 and could miss most of the campaign, but even if he doesn't find a landing spot this summer, he should be able to find an opportunity once he's closer to full health.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Gets ACL surgery
Saddiq Bey underwent successful surgery March 27 to repair the torn ACL in his left knee.Given that recoveries from ACL tears for basketball players can often take between 8-to-12 months, Bey is likely to be sidelined for at least the early part of the 2024-25 season. The knee injury comes at a particularly brutal time for Bey, who was set to become a free agent this summer and will now likely be in store for a much less favorable contract on the open market. Before suffering the season-ending injury, Bey averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 32.7 minutes per game over his 63 appearances for Atlanta.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Suffers ACL tear, out for season
Saddiq Bey (knee) was diagnosed Monday with a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.Bey exited Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Pelicans with what the Atlanta Hawks had labeled as a hyperextended left knee, but ligament damage was detected after he was sent in for imaging. The fourth-year forward will likely undergo surgery in the coming days and will not only miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, but quite possibly, a significant chunk of the 2024-25 campaign. The knee injury comes at a particular inconvenient time for Bey, who is set to become a restricted free agent this summer and will presumably have a weakened market as a result. In his first full season with Atlanta, Bey averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game while shooting 41.6 percent from the field over 63 appearances (51 starts).

Before exiting with the injury, Bey started and played 27 minutes, finishing with 14 points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Leading scorer in Wednesday's loss
Saddiq Bey amassed 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Celtics.The former Piston led the Atlanta Hawks in scoring on a night when Trae Young had trouble getting his shot to fall against Boston's defense and Dejounte Murray (back) was in street clothes. Bey's production remains erratic -- twice in the last nine games, he's scored two points or less -- but the fourth-year forward has, in general, been a solid complementary piece for Atlanta, averaging 14.4 points, 6.6 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.6 threes over his last 16 contests.
