Hawks make another hire from Warriors

The Hawks have – again – taken a key piece from the Warriors.

Chelsea Lane is taking a position of Executive Director of Athletic Performance and Sports Medicine with the Hawks, according to a person familiar with the situation. The team has not announced the move, which was first reported by The Athletic.

Lane spent the past three seasons as the Warriors’ head of Physical Performance and Sports Medicine.

The move comes a year after the Hawks hired general manager Travis Schlenk from the Warriors. The Hawks also hired several members of the Warriors athletic performance staff after the team won its first NBA title

Lane is the only women to oversee an NBA team’s training staff.

Lane has been noted with her work with Warriors’ star Steph Curry, who has dealt with ankle and knee injuries in his career.
