NBA legend and former Atlanta Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens died over the weekend. He was 88. FOX 5's Alex Whittler has the story.

It's an incredible weekend for sports, with the Atlanta Falcons in Berlin for an international showdown against the Indianapolis Colts, the Georgia Bulldogs taking on Mississippi State and Georgia Tech's redemption arc. Join FOX LOCAL for what you need to know about Georgia's football games ahead.

The Falcons are in Berlin, Germany to take on the Colts. FOX 5 Sports' Milers Garrett made the journey and caught up with the team.

Georgia Bulldogs Ellis Robinson IV and CJ Allen sat down with FOX 5.

Before flying to Germany, the Atlanta Falcons spent an evening giving back at Stars and Strikes, bowling alongside local veterans. The event, part of the team’s “Rise Up for Atlanta” series, celebrated camaraderie and gratitude, with players like Tyler Allgeier bonding over strikes, spares, and shared stories of service.

“In the Nest” goes international as Kelly Price talks with Fabienne Lampe, the Atlanta Falcons’ German writer, ahead of the team’s Berlin game. Lampe shares her journey from cheerleader to sports journalist, her love for Atlanta, and what fans can expect at Falcons House Berlin — including appearances by legends, cheerleaders, and Freddie Falcon’s German cousin, Fritz.

This week’s “Question of the Week” took players overseas as they shared what they’re most excited to see and eat in Germany. From bratwursts to mystery “punskys,” the laughs kept coming as teammates joked about their travel cravings and culture shock moments.

Players turned heads on this week’s “Walkin’ In” with cozy fall fits. Darnell Mooney made his first appearance of the season in a fuzzy black sweater and bold shades, while Josh Woods showed off a jacket stitched with patches from Maryland counties close to his heart.

FOX 5's Kelly Price had the opportunity to speak with new Braves' manager Walt Weiss, who is no stranger to the franchise. The 61-year-old spent the last eight seasons as the Braves' bench coach, including during the team’s World Series run in 2021.

The Braves' new manager, Walt Weiss, has been a part of the organization for 11 seasons as both a player and coach and began his tenure as Atlanta’s bench coach in 2018. FOX 5 Sports' Kelly Price reports live moments after his introductory press conference on Tuesday.

The Atlanta Braves have announced the appointment of Walt Weiss as the 49th manager in franchise history, following the decision by longtime skipper Brian Snitker to step down at season’s end.
