Hawks' Bogdan Bogdanovic: Game-high 30 points in Olympic win
Rotowire
Bogdanovic tallied 30 points (10-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 32 minutes in Serbia's 96-85 win over South Sudan in the Paris Olympics on Saturday.
Bogdanovic was lethal from beyond the arc, and he has served as an extremely productive second option behind Nikola Jokic. The 31-year-old did it all in the win while leading the team with a game high in points and a team high in assists. South Sudan was able to keep the game competitive up until the middle of the fourth quarter, but Bogdanovic's offensive barrage while Jokic was on the bench helped Serbia pull away. In three group-phase appearances, the sharpshooter averaged 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists across 28.0 minutes per game. The veteran will be crucial for Serbia in the Olympic quarterfinals, and his ability to get a bucket while Jokic is not on the floor could be game-altering.

Rotowire
The Hawks signed Barlow (knee) to a two-way contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
After waiving Bruno Fernando on Tuesday, the Hawks signed Barlow to a two-way pact. The move to sign the 21-year-old seemingly aligns with the club's plan to rebuild around their young core of Zaccharie Risacher (quad) and Jalen Johnson (ankle). However, Barlow may have a difficult time picking up minutes with the squad, buried behind Clint Capela, Onyeka Okongwu (toe), Larry Nance and Cody Zeller. Barlow spent two years with the Spurs, and in 2023-24, he averaged 3.8 points and 3.5 rebounds across 14.1 minutes in 29 regular-season games.
