A few hours ago, the Hawks announced their theme nights for the first half of the 2021 season. They will begin their first of four ‘Unity Night’ games on Monday, January 18th (Martin Luther King Day) against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Of course, this year’s theme nights will feature special MLK jerseys, as the team attempts to bring the entire community of Atlanta closer together.

For the first half of the season, there will be four Unity Nights. Each night, we’ll proudly wear the MLK letters across our chest & compete to #EarnTheseLetters. pic.twitter.com/qKdjdv8cMr
