After the Hawks' big win, coach Justin Tatum slammed a report about departed import JaQuori McLaughlin, calling it 'false'.
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 stated that the Hawks and McLaughlin mutually agreed to part ways on Friday, before the team's 116-89 win over the Brisbane Bullets.
A report by Code Sports claimed McLaughlin was a 'cancer' in the locker room, which Tatum denied.
