Wizards' Saddiq Bey: No return timetable
Coach Brain Keefe said Tuesday that Bey (knee) doesn't have a return timetable, Varun Shankar of The Washington Post reports.
Key tore his ACL in March and is still rehabbing but has done some on-court work during Washington's training camp. However, he's still not cleared for contact and is likely months away from returning to game action.

Wizards' Saddiq Bey: Agrees to deal with Wizards
Bey (knee) has agreed to a three-year, $20 million contract with the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bey is coming off a down year in which he converted a career-low 31.6 percent of his three-point attempts across 63 regular-season games with the Hawks, but maybe a change of scenery will help him rediscover his sharpshooting ways. However, he's still rehabbing from an ACL tear that he suffered in March, so it's unlikely he'll be ready for the start of the 2024-25 season.

Saddiq Bey: Headed for free agency
The Hawks declined to extend Bey (knee) an $8.49 million qualifying offer Saturday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bey tore his ACL on March 10, cutting short what will end up being his final season with the Hawks, barring him re-signing with the club. Before suffering the injury, the 25-year-old forward appeared in 63 games and averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals across 32.7 minutes. Given the nature of his injury, Bey will be sidelined for the start of the 2024-25 and could miss most of the campaign, but even if he doesn't find a landing spot this summer, he should be able to find an opportunity once he's closer to full health.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Gets ACL surgery
Bey underwent successful surgery March 27 to repair the torn ACL in his left knee.
Given that recoveries from ACL tears for basketball players can often take between 8-to-12 months, Bey is likely to be sidelined for at least the early part of the 2024-25 season. The knee injury comes at a particularly brutal time for Bey, who was set to become a free agent this summer and will now likely be in store for a much less favorable contract on the open market. Before suffering the season-ending injury, Bey averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 steals in 32.7 minutes per game over his 63 appearances for Atlanta.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Suffers ACL tear, out for season
Bey (knee) was diagnosed Monday with a torn ACL and is out for the remainder of the season, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Bey exited Sunday's 116-103 loss to the Pelicans with what the Hawks had labeled as a hyperextended left knee, but ligament damage was detected after he was sent in for imaging. The fourth-year forward will likely undergo surgery in the coming days and will not only miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, but quite possibly, a significant chunk of the 2024-25 campaign. The knee injury comes at a particular inconvenient time for Bey, who is set to become a restricted free agent this summer and will presumably have a weakened market as a result. In his first full season with Atlanta, Bey averaged 13.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.2 blocks in 32.7 minutes per game while shooting 41.6 percent from the field over 63 appearances (51 starts).

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Exits with hyperextended knee
Bey sustained a hyperextended left knee in Sunday's game against the Pelicans and won't return.
Bey exited early in the fourth quarter in obvious pain, so his status will be worth keeping a close eye on over the next couple of days as Atlanta heads into a three-game week that begins Wednesday in Portland. Before exiting with the injury, Bey started and played 27 minutes, finishing with 14 points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and two assists.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Paces Atlanta in scoring Saturday
Bey totaled 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Nets.
Bey led the Hawks in scoring and was the only player who surpassed the 20-point mark for Atlanta, but his contributions were not enough to secure the victory. Bey has been relegated to a secondary role on offense in recent weeks, but this was the first time he reached the 20-point mark since Feb. 10. He has also surpassed the 15-point plateau in three of his five appearances following the All-Star break.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Pops for 18 against Raptors
Bey provided 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Friday's 123-121 loss to Toronto.
The fourth-year forward just missed his ninth double-double of the season. Bey appears to be blossoming in Atlanta -- he's scored in double digits in seven straight games, and in 12 straight if you don't count a Feb. 2 tilt against Phoenix that he left early due to a minor ankle injury. In those 12 contests, Bey is averaging 18.3 points, 7.6 boards, 2.3 threes and 2.1 assists.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Double-doubles in win
Bey closed with 18 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 127-121 victory over Philadelphia.
Bey delivered his eighth double-double of the season, scoring at least 18 points for the third straight game. After a two-point dud against the Suns, Bey has found his rhythm, providing serviceable 12-team value over that time. He is likely to be on the fringes of 12-team leagues for the remainder of the season, depending on whether you are prioritizing points and threes.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Leading scorer in Wednesday's loss
Bey amassed 25 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 125-117 loss to the Celtics.
The former Piston led the Hawks in scoring on a night when Trae Young had trouble getting his shot to fall against Boston's defense and Dejounte Murray (back) was in street clothes. Bey's production remains erratic -- twice in the last nine games, he's scored two points or less -- but the fourth-year forward has, in general, been a solid complementary piece for Atlanta, averaging 14.4 points, 6.6 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.6 threes over his last 16 contests.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Scores 18 points
Bey chipped in 18 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 149-144 loss to the Clippers.
Bey returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle issue and looked sharp for the Hawks. De'Andre Hunter's minutes are expected to ramp up which could potentially impact Bey, but the Hawks may utilize a lot of smaller lineups in the absence of Clint Capela (adductor), which could benefit both Bey and Hunter.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Available for Monday's matchup
Bey (ankle) is available and starting Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Bey missed Saturday's game against the Warriors due to an ankle injury, but he'll return to action following a minimal absence. Over his last five full appearances, he's averaged 18.2 points, 8.4 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 34.2 minutes per game.

Hawks' Saddiq Bey: Questionable for Monday
Bey (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.
Bey is at risk of missing his second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. De'Andre Hunter (knee management) is also questionable, but Wesley Matthews (calf) has been removed from the injury report, joining Garrison Mathews in a shallow rotation of healthy wings.
