The Atlanta Hawks have made the signing of Vit Krejci official.
It was reported earlier this week that Krejci was coming back on a four-year deal and the team made it official today. Krejci was one of the bright spots on the Hawks down the stretch of last season and he is going to continue to develop under Quin Snyder.
