College Park Skyhawks News Release


COLLEGE PARK, Ga. - The College Park Skyhawks (12-12), the official NBA G League affiliate of the Atlanta Hawks, announced today that the team will host NBA G League Ignite (9-14) for a two-game home series on Wednesday, March 8 and Thursday, March 9. Both games will tip off at 7 p.m. ET at the Gateway Center Arena at College Park.

The Skyhawks are led by center Chris Silva, who has averaged 24.5 points and 15.5 rebounds per game in two games since returning from two consecutive 10-day contracts with the Dallas Mavericks. Silva led College Park to two consecutive wins coming into the series with G League Ignite, and the Skyhawks sit 0.5 games back of a spot in the G League Playoffs.

NBA G League Ignite features Atlanta-area product Scoot Henderson, who attended Kell High School before joining G League Ignite prior to the 2021-22 season. Henderson is projected to be a top pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Among those joining him are London Johnson, a product of Norcross High School who will spend two seasons with the Henderson, Nev. based Ignite, and former Hawks guard John Jenkins III, who was drafted by the Hawks in 2012 with the 23rd pick.

The two-game series will be the first regular season meeting between the two teams. During the 2021-22 season, the Skyhawks hosted G League Ignite for a game as part of the NBA G League Ignite Tour on Jan. 21, 2022, and defeated the newly formed team, 129-119.
