The Atlanta Hawks are bolstering their frontcourt for the stretch run. The team signed former Indiana Pacers center Tony Bradley to provide additional inside depth as they push toward the playoffs.
Bradley, a veteran big man, gives the Hawks another option in the paint alongside the team's existing rotation. His size and physicality address a need that became apparent during a recent loss to the New York Knicks, a potential first-round playoff matchup.
The Hawks have been in and out of the playoff picture all season, and the Bradley signing signals the front office believes this roster has a real shot at postseason basketball. The move comes as Atlanta enters the final stretch of the regular season with several games remaining against Eastern Conference opponents jockeying for seeding.
