2006–07 Atlanta Hawks season


The 2006–07 NBA season was the Atlanta Hawks' 58th season in the National Basketball Association, and 39th season in Atlanta. During the offseason, the Hawks signed free agent Speedy Claxton and re-signed Lorenzen Wright. The Hawks got off to a strong start winning four of their first five games. However, the lack of talent on the court continued to weigh down the Hawks as they entered the New Year with a 9–20 record, including an 8-game losing streak. In January, they posted a winning record as they won 8 of their 15 games during the month. Joe Johnson averaged 25.0 points per game and was selected for the 2007 NBA All-Star Game. However, after the All-Star break, Johnson would miss the remainder of the season due to calf injuries after 57 games. At midseason, the team re-signed free agent Anthony Johnson, who would play in his third stint with the Hawks, who finished last place in the Southeast Division with a 30–52 record, missing the playoffs for the eighth straight season.
Josh Smith showed improvement averaging 16.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.9 blocks per game. This would be the final season the Hawks missed the playoffs until 2018.
