First, reports broke about forward Caleb Houstan being converted from his two-way deal onto a standard contract for the rest of the season:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Since the Hawks already had 15 standard contract players, they needed to waive someone. Unfortunately, that someone was a Serbian international who hadn\u2019t even played a regular season minute with the Hawks:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Djurisic was the 43rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, but after sustaining a foot fracture in the 2024 Summer League campaign, his NBA career just never took off. After signing a rookie minimum deal last season, he averaged just 9.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game in the G League regular season \u2014 not nearly impressing enough on a poor Skyhawks team.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Also, this afternoon, we\u2019ll have to wait until later the debut of Jonathan Kuminga. This latest update from the Atlanta Hawks states that he will be re-evaluated in a week\u2019s time for a bone bruise in his leg:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s been a busy day before the return to action for the Atlanta Hawks.
