Hawks' David Roddy: Scores 17 points in spot start
Rotowire
Roddy tallied 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 133-120 loss to Washington.
Roddy was inserted into the Hawks' starting five Wednesday due to Dyson Daniels (hip) being ruled out. Roddy ended up tied with No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher for third-most points on the Hawks behind Trae Young (35) and Jalen Johnson (21). Even if Daniels returns for Friday's game against Sacramento, Roddy should see plenty of playing time as Atlanta is extremely shorthanded due to injuries.

Hawks' David Roddy: Future option declined
Rotowire
Roddy's 2025-26 team option was declined by Atlanta on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Roddy has been sharp across two appearances with Atlanta, compiling 19 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes. His $4.8 million cap hit is enough for Atlanta to send them to free agency at the end of the 2024-25 campaign, however.

Hawks' David Roddy: Scores nine off bench
Rotowire
Roddy accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 19 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Wizards.
Due to injuries to Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee), Roddy has been able to get some rotation minutes in two straight games. He's been solid for the most part, averaging 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 19.5 minutes during that small sample size.

Hawks' David Roddy: Inefficient in preseason loss
Rotowire
Roddy totaled 15 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes in Wednesday's 120-111 preseason loss to the Heat.
Roddy had his best scoring output of the preseason Wednesday, though he wasn't as efficient as he was over his last two outings. Roddy was traded by the Suns to the Hawks in late July, and the 2022 first-round pick is competing for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation. He'll make his final case for a spot on the 2024-25 regular-season roster Thursday against the Thunder.
The Suns are trading Roddy to the Hawks in exchange for E.J. Liddell on Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Roddy made 65 combined regular-season appearances for the Grizzlies and Suns last year, averaging 6.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.1 minutes. Roddy will likely compete for a depth role in Atlanta's forward rotation.

Suns' David Roddy: Drops 21 points in Summer League
Rotowire
Roddy logged 21 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists a steal and a block over 28 minutes of Wednesday's 100-99 Summer League win over the Thunder.
Roddy was fouled while attempting a game-winning three-pointer with less than a second left and sunk all three free throws to vault the Suns to victory. Roddy was dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline last season and didn't play more than 10 minutes in a game with the Suns. Similarly, Roddy is expected to be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.
Roddy scored two points (1-1 FG) in five minutes during Monday's 117-111 victory over Cleveland.
Roddy has logged double-digit minutes only once across eight appearances since being dealt to Phoenix at the trade deadline. The second-year wing failed to make an impact while Eric Gordon (knee) and Josh Okogie (abdomen) are unavailable bodes extremely poorly for his rest-of-season outlook. Memphis moving on from Roddy less than two full campaigns after drafting him in the first round symbolizes his struggle to carve out a niche in the league thus far.

Suns' David Roddy: Available against Warriors
Rotowire
Roddy (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
Royce O'Neale is also available to make his debut, and he's more likely to carve out a meaningful role in Phoenix. Roddy made 48 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 40.2 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc, however.
Roddy was traded from the Grizzlies to the Suns on Thursday as part of a three-team trade that sent draft-pick compensation to Memphis and Royce O'Neale to Phoenix, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Roddy saw consistent playing time for the Grizzlies for most of the first half of the season, and he saw increased work in recent matchups since Memphis was dealing with multiple injuries. Over 48 appearances this year, he's averaged 8.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 23.2 minutes per game. He'll now move to a playoff contender that has also acquired O'Neale ahead of Thursday's deadline, but Roddy has proven to be capable of providing scoring and rebounding production off the bench when needed.
