Nov 6, 2019

The Hawks acquired Chandler Parsons in July after he spent three seasons in Memphis, often struggling with knee injuries.

At Hawks media day in October, Parsons sat down with the AJC to discuss the team’s young core, his experience with the Hawks and what’s on his pregame playlist.

While rehabbing, Parsons has yet to play in a game this season, but he’s making progress and recently began playing 3-on-3 in practice.
