Malik Ellison: No longer with Atlanta
Rotowire
The Hawks waived Ellison on Sunday, Pat Benson of SI.com reports.
Ellison was buried down the guard depth chart and was always considered to be a long shot to make the Opening Night roster, so now he will need to decide what to do with his career -- although there's a strong chance he stays with the organization's G-League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks. Following Sunday's roster moves, the Hawks are now down to 16 players when including their two-way contracts, so in other words, they have a legal roster to open the regular season if they choose to stand pat with this group.
Ellison signed with Atlanta on a training camp deal Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Ellison saw some time with the Hawks last season on a 10-day contract. However, the forward ended his 2021-22 season with the Skyhawks in the G League. Ellison will likely spend the upcoming season in the G League again.
