Jordan Hawkins News: Scores 14 points in win

Hawkins had 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and one steal across 20 minutes in Saturday's 127-92 exhibition game win over the Melbourne Phoenix.

Hawkins led the second unit in points and finished as the team's third-leading scorer. The No. 14 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft appeared in just 56 regular-season games (nine starts) last season due largely to back issues, averaging 10.8 points and 2.8 rebounds across 23.6 minutes per game. The 23-year-old is likely to play a meaningful role behind Trey Murphy (foot) this season.
