Illawarra Hawks Coach Denies 'False' Report
Illawarra Hawks head coach Justin Tatum slammed a report claiming departed import JaQuori McLaughlin was a "cancer" in the locker room.
The report was false, and that young man was nothing but a pleasure for our organisation and in our locker room, on and off the court.
Tatum stated that the Hawks and McLaughlin mutually agreed to part ways on Friday, prior to the team's 116-89 win over the Brisbane Bullets.
The coach's comments came after the team's first win of the NBL26 season.
