The Atlanta Hawks have signed guard/forward Jeremy Richardson to a second 10-day contract, effective February 28, 2008, according to Hawks Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight.

Richardson has appeared in 6 games with the Hawks, averaging 4.2 ppg in 8.0 mpg (.500 FG%, .556 3FG%).

Atlanta point guard Mike Bibby is listed as questionable for the Hawks' game against his former team the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Bibby hurt right heel against the Lakers on Tuesday night.

Acie Law will start in Bibby's place if he is unable to play.

Guard Mike Bibby was injured in his debut game with the Hawks, according to the Sports Network.

Bibby suffered a right ankle injury in the third quarter of Tuesday's 122-93 loss to the LA Lakers.

The Atlanta Hawks today signed guard Jeremy Richardson to a 10-day contract, according to Hawks? Executive Vice President/General Manager Billy Knight.

The 6-foot-7 Richardson has seen a combined eight games of action (one starting assignment) this season with the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs, tallying 10 points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal (3-13 FGs, 2-7 3FGs, 2-2 FTs).

The Sacramento Kings have agreed to send point guard Mike Bibby to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for four players, according to ESPN.com.

The Kings will receive Anthony Johnson, Tyronn Lue, Lorenzen Wright, and Shelden Williams from the Hawks for Bibby.

When he heard the news of the deal, Bibby had this to say to the Sacramento Bee:

"I had some good times here in Sacramento. Sometimes you need a change, and you never know where that might take you. I just prayed and asked for what might be the best for my family, and this is what happened so you can't question it."

"I'll always have love for the people in Sacramento, the Maloofs, and [President] Geoff [Petrie]."

Cavaliers' guard Daniel Gibson was cheered on by teammate LeBron James for every one of the eleven three pointers he made on Friday night, giving Gibson 33 points, the MVP trophy, and the Sophomores a 136-109 win over the Rookies.

Gibson's 11 threes surpassed the previous record of seven, held by Jazz guard Kyle Korver.

Memphis guard Rudy Gay finished with 22 points on 9 for 12 shooting while Kevin Durant led the rookies with 23 points and 8 rebounds.

Atlanta guard Josh Childress will miss the team's game against Charlotte on Wednesday night because of a knee injury, according to the Associated Press.

The injury is reportedly a mild hyperextension.

The news of Shaquille O'Neal being dealt to the Phoenix Suns actually has ramifications on a game played on December 19th.  

During that game, the official scorer incorrectly gave O'Neal his sixth foul instead of his fifth, and the Heat subsequently won a protest because of the error, forcing the final 51.9 seconds to be replayed on March 8th.

Tim Frank of the league office confirmed to RealGM on Wednesday that the trade "doesn't have any bearing" on the game being replayed.

He also added that the final seconds of the game will be played regardless of whether O'Neal is in a Miami uniform or not.

The game was protested because O'Neal was unable to be on the floor, but it is an obvious improbability that he would return to the Heat for those final 51.1 seconds.

This summer, when players like Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, and Andre Iguodala become restricted free agents, the Memphis Grizzlies will now join the 76ers and Hawks as the only teams with salary-cap room, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune writes.

This was the direct result of the team's recent trade which sent Pau Gasol to the Lakers for very little in return.

T.J. Ford returned to the court for the first time in 24 games last night, scoring four points and dishing 4 assists in only 18 minutes of the Raptors' 114-82 win in Miami, ESPN is reporting.

Ford was knocked to the ground by Hawks' rookie Al Horford on Dec. 11 at Atlanta.  While the injury was officially listed as a left arm stinger, there was concern about Ford's future after a serious neck injury in 2004.

Ford highlighted his return with a driving dunk with 38.1 seconds left.

"I don't think people expected me to come in and do the things that I normally do," Ford said.
