Luke Kornet was a vocal opponent of the Atlanta Hawks' planned game-night collaboration with local strip club Magic City celebrating the "iconic cultural institution."

The NBA is in agreement. The league announced on Monday that the Hawks, in fact, will not move forward with the "Magic City Monday" promotion scheduled for their March 16 home game against the Orlando Magic. 

The NBA announced the decision by the league to cancel the promotion in a news release from the league office Monday with a statement from commissioner Adam Silver.

"When we became aware of the Atlanta Hawks' scheduled promotion, we reached out to Hawks leadership to better understand their plans and rationale," Silver's statement reads. "While we appreciate the team's perspective and their desire to move forward, we have heard significant concern from a broad array of league stakeholders, including fans, partners and employees. 

"I believe canceling this promotion is the right decision for the broader NBA community."

The Hawks released a statement expressing their "disappointment" in the decision.

"While we are very disappointed in the NBA's decision to cancel our Magic City Night promotion, we fully respect its decision.

:As a franchise, we remain committed to celebrating the best of Atlanta — with authenticity — in ways that continue to unite and bring us all together."

The team announcement promoting "Magic City Monday" that's hosted on NBA.com remained live as of the time of the NBA's statement canceling it. 

Magic City is, indeed, a cultural institution in Atlanta. Former Hawk Lou Williams was openly and proudly a frequent patron of the club, which is known as much for its wings as its entertainment offerings. Magic City's menu now features "LouWill' lemon pepper wings on its menu named after the former Hawks guard. 

Variations of those wings were on the menu for the Hawks' planned "Magic City Monday" promotion. Also planned for the now-canceled promotion were a halftime performance from Atlanta rapper T.I. and a "a limited-edition Peachtree-themed hoodie" emblazoned with "‘MAGIC CITY’" available for purchase at the team store on game night.

Nude entertainment was not on the menu.

The NBA did not identify the "stakeholders" who approached the league with concerns about the promotion. Kornet, a center for the San Antonio Spurs, was certainly one of them. 

Kornet felt strongly enough last week to voice his concerns about the promotion planned for a game between the Hawks and Orlando Magic 1,000 miles away from San Antonio. Kornet wrote a blog post on the subject he headlined "Concerning the Atlanta Hawks." In it, he requested that "the Atlanta Hawks cancel this promotional night with Magic City."

"Allowing this night to go forward without protest would reflect poorly on us as an NBA community, specifically in being complicit in the potential objectification and mistreatment of women in our society," Kornet wrote.

At the time, Kornet was the only public NBA voice raising concern about the promotion. Warriors forward Al Horford, who played nine seasons for the Hawks reposted Kornet's blog post on social media.

"Well said, Luke," Horford wrote.
