Jent on Atlanta’s defensive issues:
“If you look at our defense by the numbers, it’s the transition that has really hurt us, it’s the quality of attempts that teams have against us in transition. It’s not like teams are always running out on us, it’s that they get to the rim.” pic.twitter.com/A5WRPI2mel – 2:27 PM Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard

Chris Jent on the Hawks missing Clint Capela:
“.. We’re going to have to all be engaged and involved and we can’t rely on having Clint down the floor now. We have to be more engaged defensively.” – 2:19 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Xavier Moon is cleared and headed out to the court to warmup. pic.twitter.com/76sQqo4Ezb – 2:15 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Xavier Moon has cleared health and safety protocols. – 2:14 PM Sarah K. Spencer @sarah_k_spence
Clint Capela (left ankle sprain) will be out for today, Chris Jent says.
I asked for an overall update and it sounds like there wasn’t any improvement for Capela yesterday. – 2:04 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
Acting Hawks coach Chris Jent on Lou Will’s impact in Atlanta: “Lou has become a mentor for a lot of our guys, especially Trae… really keeps our team together.” – 2:04 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Chris Jent (yes, another backup coach this weekend against the Clippers) says that Clint Capela won’t play at LA.
Onyeka Okongwu is here 🏾 – 2:03 PM Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Clint Capela is out for today’s game against the Clippers, acting coach Chris Jent said. – 2:02 PM Mirjam Swanson @MirjamSwanson
All Ty Lue can say about Luke Kennard is that “he’s still in protocols.” He’s been on the HASP list since Jan. 1. – 1:50 PM Andrew Greif @AndrewGreif
Ty Lue felt minutes restrictions on Batum and Morris limited the Clippers yesterday but with Justise Winslow out, Lue said Batum and Morris will have to play more today vs. Atlanta. Also more Ibaka because “we can’t run Nico and Marcus into the ground.” – 1:44 PM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers

The all-time verified scorer in career points as a reserve, the Underground GOAT Lou Williams, returns to the Clippers home arena today for the first time since he was traded in March.
This could be the last time he plays in LA. 💐💐

📅 On this day in 2021, the @Charlotte Hornets LaMelo Ball had 22 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists in a 113-105 win over the Hawks.
Ball (19 years, 140 days) became the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. His mark has since been surpassed by Josh Giddey. pic.twitter.com/vzQxO8uTB8 – 11:31 AM Los Angeles Clippers @LAClippers

With the NBA Trade Deadline about a month away, I went through a few ideas the Pelicans could explore to upgrade their roster.
Should they push their chips in on Cam Reddish? A Buddy Hield reunion? A Kenny Hustle reunion?!?!
