Coming a day after the Atlanta Hawks announced general manager Danny Ferry would be taking an indefinite leave of absence, the team's front office released an open letter of apology to fans today, signed by CEO Steve Koonin.

"Over the course of the last week, the Hawks have let down our players, our employees, our fans and the city we love," the letter reads. "Our shortcomings have been broadly shared — including how we have failed to operate well internally and externally. It has been humbling and…our learnings have just begun."
