However, tragedy struck as center Jason Collier suffered a heart attack during the preseason and died suddenly on October 15. The Hawks would stumble out of the gate again losing their first nine games the same as the Toronto Raptors, on their way to an awful 2–16 start. Tony Delk was released to free agency after one game, and later signed with the Detroit Pistons. However, they would play better in December winning five of their next seven games, including a home win over the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, 94–84 on December 10. The Hawks played .500 basketball in February, which included a 99–98 home victory over the Pistons on February 7. The Hawks doubled their win total by finishing last place in the Southeast Division with a 26–56 record, tied with the second-year Charlotte Bobcats. They began the season hoping to improve upon their 13-69 output from the previous season. They improved by thirteen games to finish 26–56, but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the seventh straight season. Johnson led the Hawks in scoring with 20.2 points per game, while Al Harrington averaged 18.6 points and 6.9 rebounds per game. Second-year forward Josh Smith provided the team with 11.3 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game, and Williams was selected to the NBA All-Rookie Second Team. Following the season, Harrington was traded back to his former team, the Indiana Pacers, then traded again this time to the Golden State Warriors along with Stephen Jackson, and two other players just two months later.
