KSTP Sports caught up Monday morning with Atlanta Hawks guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker. He’s making his Target Center return after spending 2 1/2 years with the Timberwolves. He signed with the Hawks in July after becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Alexander-Walker was very reflective and appreciative for the time he spent in Minnesota.
“My son was born here,” Alexander-Walker said. “This is where I feel like the Nickeil Alexander-Walker we all see today was born as well.”
