Depending on the severity it could be up to a 6 month recovery. But probably won't be that long.

The interview is with Adam Silver

He talks about how great it is to have the Hawks fan base fill up the stands. 
He credits Ressler and Koonin with being at the forefront to get fans back in the stands from the MLK game to the Allstar to the playoffs, the Hawks led the way. 
Ressler development of Downtown ATL

How Trae has become a superstar that draws fans and how the next generation is leading the way. 
 

How the Hawks are higher on the priority list of future all star games after what they did to come through when Indiana couldn’t.

Awesome! I really think we have a chance to win 60 games in 2021-22 and maybe more. Our style of Basketball really is a beast for regular season play and the playoffs proved we are no flukes.

Would be a shame if the only All-Star game Trae missed was the year it was in Atlanta.  The league needs a redo here for several reasons but the mistake in bypassing Trae is one of them.

Shaq pumped up Embiid and said let’s see if he’s that guy and said something neutral about the Hawks that didn’t stick out in my mind. Lol.

Then Kenny and Chuck focused on the Clipps Jazz. 
 

☝ These are horrible details I know 

 

[dalamchops]

all these head coach openings and all of them want Nate McMillan too bad no one follows the hawks they don't even know he's already got the deal

[marco102]

They said selecting Trae would get GM's and coaches fires...Well we did fire our coach..lol

It's funny how the narrative isn't about how toxic the culture is around Luka in Dallas. I'll admit it's no fault of his own, but the narrative was Trae Young was toxic.

Yep. Luka the GM killer AND the coach killer?

At this point I’m waiting for more stink from the Mavs organization. Some Cosby stuff might be coming out soon, who knows…

I figured Carlisle was too good of a coach to be ok with one guy doing everything on offense at the expense of the team. I'm glad he stood up for himself and went out on his own terms. No need to stay and be the scapegoat. I see Kristaps wants out too. I saw this coming, but this is all happening a lot sooner than I expected. This should all look familiar to people who aren't blind fanboys. We saw it in Houston and OKC.
