The Atlanta Hawks confirmed on March 4, 2026, that they will move forward with their scheduled “Magic City Strip Club Night” promotion, opting not to alter or cancel the event after public criticism linked to a recent Luke Kornet controversy.
The organization stated that the themed night will take place as originally planned and that no adjustments are under consideration. Team officials did not provide additional details about the decision.
The promotion drew added scrutiny following an incident involving Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet. While the nature of that controversy was not disclosed by the Hawks, the club maintained that it will not affect the partnership or the timing of the event.
