During the Atlanta Hawks’ matchup against the San Antonio Spurs, TNT sideline reporter Dennis Scott revealed insights from a conversation with Hawks guard Dejounte Murray. Among the topics discussed was a rumor suggesting the Spurs might be interested in reacquiring Murray.
Addressing the Spurs speculation, Scott relayed Murray’s response: “Pop (Spurs coach Gregg Popovich) is like a father to me, I would welcome that. But right now, I’m a Hawk, I’m going to stay professional and play the right way.”
Scott emphasized that Murray’s approach to trade rumors aligns with the standard response adopted by most NBA veterans.
