ATlANTA (AP) — Nick Van Exel has returned to the Atlanta Hawks, joining Nate McMillan’s staff as an assistant coach. Van Exel spent the last two years as a Dallas Mavericks scout. He previously worked in Atlanta as a player development instructor from 2010-12. McMillan is counting on Van Exel to help develop a young core of guards led by Trae Young.
