Spurs Fiesta 5: Hawks PG Dejounte Murray Suspended for Game 5 vs. Celtics
1. DEJOUNTE MURRAY SUSPENDED
The Atlanta Hawks face elimination tomorrow night against the Boston Celtics, but they will be without All-Star point guard Dejounte Murray, who was suspended for Game 5 after bumping into an official following the team's Game 4 loss on Sunday.
Murray was traded by the San Antonio Spurs to the Hawks this summer for three first-round picks.
2. ROMEO LANGFORD EYES CONSISTENCY
"[The next step for me] is just being consistent," Langford said. "When I'm out there and healthy, and when I get to play a consistent role, I'm productive. That's the main thing. I like being on the court because when you're not on the court, you can't show what you can do."
"Jones averaged 12.9 points and 6.6 assists in his third professional season, enough to place him as the 20th best free agent in this summer's class according to Bleacher Report."
