NBA選秀會即將就要在明後天展開，今年被預期是個選秀小年，狀元到現在都無法被預測，其中一位狀元熱門Alex Sarr就被報導出不願意擁有狀元籤的老鷹隊測試，而在今天老鷹隊總管Landry Fields也出來證實。

Landry Fields說：「我們已經有排好行程了，也將它記錄下來，但最後他拒絕前來測試。」另外也有補充他知道Sarr有去哪幾隊測試，但不願意在訪談中分享這個消息。

Fields在訪問中有表示他不覺得有被Sarr團隊不尊重的感覺，認為是經紀人的操作，不過也拒絕解釋這個行為。

Landry Fields on Alex Sarr not working out for the Hawks (via 92.9 The Game today):

"He was scheduled to come work out. We had it on the books and then he declined to come work out."

Also said he knows which teams Sarr worked out for but he declined to share. https://t.co/Rm0lSbMT82

Sarr自己接受訪問談到為何拒絕替老鷹隊測試，自己說：「我會為任何選中我的球隊打球，對我來說，最重要的事情是是否一支球隊願意給我一個機會，必須去那裡努力打球，沒有挑剔餘地，沒有不想去哪裡打球的事情。」

We asked Alex Sarr why he didn’t visit Atlanta, Donovan Clingan about his weekend Zoom with the Spurs, and Nikola Topic about Orlando hiring his father at NBA Draft media day this afternoon. Plus, more league-wide notes in our latest for @YahooSports: https://t.co/q6OfcLvqXt
