2011–12 Atlanta Hawks season

The 2011–12 Atlanta Hawks season was the 63rd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA), and the 44th in Atlanta. The Hawks finished the lockout-shortened season in 5th place in the Eastern Conference with a 40–26 record and reached the 2012 NBA Playoffs where they lost in the first round against the Boston Celtics in six games.

Key dates

 * June 23: The 2011 NBA draft will take place at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
 * December 27: The Hawks begin the regular season with a victory against the New Jersey Nets.
 * April 16: Atlanta secures a playoff spot with a 109–87 win against the Toronto Raptors.

Pre-season
Due to the 2011 NBA lockout negotiations, the programmed pre-season schedule, along with the first two weeks of the regular season were scrapped, and a two-game pre-season was set for each team once the lockout concluded.

Free agents
Many players signed with teams from other leagues due to the 2011 NBA lockout. FIBA allows players under NBA contracts to sign and play for teams from other leagues if the contracts have opt-out clauses that allow the players to return to the NBA if the lockout ends. The Chinese Basketball Association, however, only allows its clubs to sign foreign free agents who could play for at least the entire season.
