The Atlanta Hawks have announced a revamped starting lineup for their third preseason game against the Miami Heat, featuring rookie Asa Newell in the starting role for the first time. Newell, selected 23rd overall in the 2025 draft, will join Jacob Toppin, N’Faly Dante, Vit Krejci, and Keaton Wallace. With limited production so far this preseason, Newell aims to capitalize on increased opportunities, while Krejci and Wallace bring experience from their impactful minutes in the previous season.
