With the injury to Jock Landale, the Hawks decided to add a familiar center as the team prepares for postseason play.
Tony Bradley never appeared for the Hawks, but he did spend a chunk of last season (12 games) with the College Park Skyhawks.
He was picked up by the Indiana Pacers, who went on to coming within one game of the title.
Across the last two seasons with the Pacers, Bradley appeared in 50 games and 11 postseason games as a big-bodied reserve center.
It’s unclear when Landale may return. On April 2, the Hawks released this update about Landale’s ankle injury:
Center Jock Landale sustained a right ankle injury during the fourth quarter of last night’s game at Orlando. Following medical evaluation and imaging, Landale has been diagnosed with a right high ankle sprain. He will be re-evaluated in approximately two weeks and an update will be provided at that time.
In order to make space on the roster, the Hawks decided to let go little used shooter Caleb Houstan.
