The Atlanta Hawks have announced that they will be hosting a Tinder-themed night called "Swipe Right Night." Tinder is a popular dating/casual hookup app that allows users to swipe right if they like another user. After a match is made, the users can talk to one another and meet up if desired.

Although the Hawks have advertised "Swipe Right Night" on their website and Twitter page, they have not released any details on how "dating" in the arena will work.

Bleacher Report Trending Lead Writer, Dan Carson jokingly wrote that the night could go like this:

"Timeout: Tinder.
TV Timeout: Tinder.
Game in progress: Tinder.
"It's a Match!": Exchange sensual messages about Kyle Korver's range.
Halftime: Meet your match in the concourse. Share greatest aspirations, deepest fears and sweet tea.
Game ends: King of Diamonds."

In the meantime, several people have also already started making jokes on Twitter.

Robby Kalland (@RKalland) tweeted: "Reminder: The Hawks are having "Swipe Right Night" sponsored by Tinder on Wednesday with the Grizzlies in town. This is a real thing.

Jonathan Reed (@Jon_Reed) wrote: "The Hawks and Grizzlies game on Wednesday is sponsored by Tinder. That is perfect."

Meredith Shiner (@meredithshiner) tweeted: "WILL ONE LUCKY HAWKS FAN WIN A TINDER DATE WITH KYLE KORVER? https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2015/01/05/atlanta-hawks-tinder-night# ... #KYLESTREAK"

The Hawks will be taking on the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night at Philips Arena.
