Patterson was assigned to the D-League's Austin Spurs on Wednesday, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

Patterson was able to get on the court for one minute during the Hawks' blowout win in Game 2 over the Celtics, but he'll be asked to assume more playing time for Austin in their D-League playoff series. The reserve guard should shuttle back and forth between the D-League squad and the Hawks until either team is eliminated from the postseason.
