Scores team-high 22 points Bey logged 22 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 117-109 loss to the Heat.

Impact Bey came off the bench and outscored all of Atlanta's starters. His 22-point performance was his highest-scoring output since joining the Hawks, and he's now averaging 11.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 steals in 26.4 minutes with his new team (seven games).

Back to bench Bey isn't starting Sunday's matchup against the Nets, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact With John Collins (concussion/back) available, Bey will shift back to his usual reserve role. Across three games with Atlanta, Bey has averaged 11.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 22.3 minutes, but he mustered only two points and five rebounds in 18 minutes during his lone appearance as a reserve with his new squad.

Gets starting nod Bey is in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Bey will replace John Collins (concussion) in the starting five Friday. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 7.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.5 minutes in his two games for Atlanta this season.

Returns to bench Bey isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact John Collins will replace Bey in the starting lineup Wednesday. The 23-year-old forward will come off the bench for the first time with Atlanta.

Modest production in start Bey closed Monday's 144-138 loss to the Hornets with 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and one block across 21 minutes.

Impact Bey debuted for the Hawks on Monday, sliding straight into the starting lineup after John Collins was ruled out due to a hip issue. Despite starting, Bey logged only 21 minutes putting up 12 points including three triples. While it appears he will have a steady role moving forward, it is unlikely he sees enough playing time to warrant fantasy attention outside slightly deeper formats. At this point, it is more of a wait-and-see situation.

Draws start Monday Bey is starting Monday's contest against the Hornets.

Impact The recently acquired forward is listed as a starter for his first career game with the Hawks. Over Bey's 52 appearances with Detroit this season, the 23-year-old averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.

Saddiq Bey ready to find his place among the Hawks CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Now that the trade is official, newly acquired Hawks forward Saddiq Bey is ready to be back on the floor.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • AJC.COM

Available Monday Bey is listed as available for Monday's matchup against the Hornets.

Impact Bey will be available to make his Atlanta debut Monday after the four-team trade between the Warriors, Hawks, Trail Blazers and Pistons was finally completed Sunday. Across 52 appearances (30 starts) with Detroit, Bey averaged 14.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 28.8 minutes. However, he'll likely have a smaller role in Atlanta, as he's expected to operate as a reserve option behind starting forwards John Collins (hip) and De'Andre Hunter. As Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network notes, Bey hasn't had a chance to put in a real practice with the Hawks since being acquired, so even though he may dress for Monday's contest, head coach Nate McMillan may not be keen on having him handle big minutes right off the bat.

Reports: Hawks hold on to Saddiq Bey as Warriors move forward with trade The Hawks can breathe a sigh of relief regarding the newest player on their roster.

FEBRUARY 13, 2023 • AJC.COM

Ruled out Saturday Updating a previous report, Bey (trade) has been ruled out of Saturday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact Bey won't make his debut Saturday, and it seems everything hinges on whether the Warriors accept the trade while understanding the injury issues regarding Gary Payton (core). Given the deadline to accept the trade is Sunday at 9.30 p.m. ET, Bey won't be playing until next week at the earliest, and if he stays with the Hawks, then his next chance to feature would come Monday at Charlotte.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Debut Saturday looking unlikely Bey's (trade) Hawks debut is unlikely to occur Saturday against the Spurs, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Bey was part of a multi-team deal being held up due to the Warriors' medical staff's concerns about Gary Payton's (abdomen) physical. The Warriors have until 9:30 p.m. ET on Sunday to decide whether to go through with the trade, and it appears they'll wait as long as possible. Therefore, Bey is unlikely to be able to play Saturday, and he may actually end up back on the Pistons before the start of next week.

Questionable to make Hawks debut Bey (trade pending) is questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Impact Bey was traded to Atlanta in a three-team deal with the Pistons, Warriors and Hawks. He will likely compete for a backup forward spot when available. If Bey doesn't suit up Saturday, his next chance to make his debut would be Monday's matchup with Charlotte.

Impact Bey was involved in talks between the Warriors and the Pistons, but it appears the Hawks were the third team involved and will be the one to acquire the third-year wing. He will provide the Hawks with another scoring threat, racking up 14.8 points, 4.7 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.0 steals over 28.8 minutes per game this season. Atlanta will presumably be required to make another move to open the roster spot for Bey, who should see a decent amount of playing time in Atlanta, though he may need to settle for a bench role.

Another big game off bench Bey provided 25 points (7-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Saturday's 116-100 loss to the Suns.

Impact Bey did not start again Saturday but made a big impact, leading his team with 25 points on 58.3 percent shooting. While he may still move back into the starting five based on matchup, he has proven he can provide a solid spark off the bench. The 23-year-old is second on the team in minutes per game over the past month, trailing only Bojan Bogdanovic, so even if he continues in this role, he is still maintaining ample playing time.

Scores 22 in bench role Bey closed with 22 points (8-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 118-112 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Bey moved to the bench for this one as the Pistons opted for a larger frontcourt with Isaiah Stewart starting next to Jalen Duren. Whether or not this is a permanent switch remains to be seen. Bey's production as a reserve is slightly lower than his output as a starter, although his usage rate is a bit higher with the second unit.

Not starting Friday Bey isn't starting Friday's matchup against the Hornets, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

Impact Bey has started 10 straight and 13 of Detroit's past 15 games, but he'll shift back to the bench in favor of Isaiah Stewart, who'll be joined by Jaden Ivey, Alec Burks, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jalen Duren. Across 18 appearances as a reserve, Bey has averaged 13.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 25.5 minutes per game.
