Hawks' Christian Koloko: Strong line off bench
Koloko had 12 points (6-6 FG), four rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 17 minutes during Monday's 132-116 win over the Pacers.
Koloko, who recently signed a two-way contract with the Hawks on Jan. 16, made a very strong impression off the bench. He has seemingly pulled away from Mouhamed Gueye for the backup center role, and it's worth noting that Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) won't be re-evaluated until next week.

Hawks' Christian Koloko: Signing two-way deal with Hawks
The Hawks are signing Koloko to a two-way contract Friday, per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Koloko was with the Grizzlies on a 10-day deal earlier this year and will now help bolster the Atlanta depth chart at center. He most recently appeared for the G League's Austin Spurs but is now set to report to the College Park Skyhawks for G League reps.

Christian Koloko: Back on free-agent market
Koloko became a free agent Monday after his second 10-day contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Memphis would have the ability to retain Koloko by signing him to a rest-of-season deal, though it's unclear if the Grizzlies plan to keep him around with Zach Edey (ankle) seemingly drawing closer to a return to game action. Koloko was a regular member of the rotation over the course of his two 10-day deals, averaging 2.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, 0.9 assists and 0.9 steals in 17.7 minutes per contest while shooting 40 percent from the field in 11 appearances.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Not starting Sunday
Koloko won't start against the Lakers on Sunday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
With Jock Landale joining the starting five, Koloko will slide to the second unit. Over six outings (two starts) with the Grizzlies this season, the third-year big man has averaged 2.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Gets another 10 day-deal
The Grizzlies signed Koloko to a second 10-day contract Friday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Grizzlies are still desperate for frontcourt depth, so this isn't a surprise. Through five appearances so far, Koloko is averaging 2.0 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 18.6 minutes. He started the Grizzlies' loss to the 76ers on Tuesday, playing 20 minutes after seeing 25 and 28 minutes off the bench in the prior two games, respectively.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Scoreless in start
Koloko contributed zero points (0-2 FG), three rebounds and two assists over 20 minutes during Tuesday's 139-136 overtime loss to the 76ers.
Koloko received his first start of the season, failing to score in 20 minutes. While he has played at least 20 minutes in three straight games, Koloko has by no means been an impactful player, having scored a total of eight points in that time. Jock Landale returned from a calf injury Tuesday and could eventually supplant Koloko in the starting lineup.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Starting Tuesday
Koloko is in the Grizzlies' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
For the final game within his 10-day contract, Koloko will enter the Grizzlies' starting lineup for the first time this season while Santi Aldama comes off the bench. Koloko has played at least 25 minutes in back-to-back games and gives the Grizzlies added size against 2022-23 MVP Joel Embiid.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Swats three shots
Koloko chipped in four points (2-5 FG), seven rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 loss to the Wizards.
With Memphis' frontcourt depleted by injuries, Koloko is getting a big opportunity to impress. He's not known for his offense, but as long as the minutes are there, he could provide a handful of rebounds and defensive stats for fantasy managers in deeper formats.

Grizzlies' Christian Koloko: Signs with Memphis
Koloko signed a hardship contract with the Grizzlies on Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The Grizzlies are in urgent need of some frontcourt depth with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) both banged up. Koloko has had stints with the Lakers and Raptors, and he holds career averages of 2.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 11.9 minutes across 97 appearances.

Christian Koloko: Waived by LAL
The Lakers waived Koloko on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After spending the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way contract with the Lakers, Koloko signed another one-year, two-way pact with the club in July. However, the big man will now have to explore other opportunities after being let go. In a corresponding move, Los Angeles signed Drew Timme to a two-way deal.

Lakers' Christian Koloko: Gets new two-way deal
Koloko agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Lakers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Koloko will return to the Lakers on a two-way deal for the second season in a row after he averaged 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per contest over 37 appearances during the 2024-25 campaign. He'll likely continue to see limited playing time in a depth role at center moving forward, with both Deandre Ayton and Jaxson Hayes likely to be prioritized ahead of him.

Lakers' Christian Koloko: Blocks six shots
Koloko contributed 12 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, six blocks, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Thursday's 87-78 Summer League loss to the Celtics.
Koloko was efficient scoring the ball Thursday but stood out most with his rim protection, swatting six shots. The big man appeared in 37 regular-season games for the Lakers during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per contest.

Lakers' Christian Koloko: Plays 37 games in 2024-25 campaign
Koloko finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 2.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 0.4 blocks across 9.2 minutes per contest in 37 regular-season appearances off the bench.
Koloko received limited playing time while signed to a two-way deal during the 2024-25 campaign, though he did shoot an efficient 60.6 percent from the field. The 24-year-old also appeared in 12 outings for the G League's South Bay Lakers, during which he averaged 14.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 blocks, 1.8 assists and 0.6 steals across 29.6 minutes per game. Koloko is set to become a restricted free agent ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Lakers' Christian Koloko: Muted role continues
Koloko totaled two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound over two minutes during Tuesday's 136-120 loss to the Thunder.
Koloko continues to be used sparingly by the Lakers, appearing for just the second time in the past 11 games, both of which have been during garbage time. Despite the fact Jaxson Hayes has been serviceable at best, Koloko has not featured as a meaningful part of the rotation. In his past eight games, Koloko has averaged just 3.4 points and 3.0 rebounds in 10.6 minutes per game.

Lakers' Christian Koloko: Contributes in limited minutes
Koloko recorded four points (2-2 FG), two rebounds and one assist in nine minutes in Monday's 125-109 win over the Spurs.
Koloko played only single digit minutes Monday but converted on both of his shot attempts. The 24-year-old has played in four consecutive games since being recalled from the G League, serving as the backup to starting center Jaxson Hayes. In those four games, Koloko has averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 rebounds in 14.8 minutes per game.
