Hield was traded to Atlanta last season. He joins a crowded Hornets back court.

The Atlanta Hawks will fully guarantee the $9.66 million salary for Buddy Hield.

Hield was traded to Atlanta in the middle of last season. He remains a player to monitor on the trade market this offseason.

The Hawks and Buddy Hield have agreed to push back the guaranteed deadline date on his contract.

The move allows both sides to have more time to flush out options. The original deadline date was last Thursday.

Buddy Hield attempted one triple and had one turnover in five minutes of action in Atlanta's loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Fantasy Impact

Hield made his Hawks' debut on Monday after being traded from Golden State in the Kristaps Porzingis deal last week. He dressed but did not play on Saturday and then, even with Jalen Johnson and Dyson Daniels out on Monday, Hield was given only five minutes off the bench. It's obvious that Hield is not part of the Hawks' plans at the moment so, if you picked him up hoping to catch lightning in a bottle with his new team, feel free to cut him loose.

Buddy Hield is available to make his debut with the Hawks on Saturday against the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact

Hield landed with Atlanta in the trade that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Warriors. He'll add another shooter on the outside for Atlanta.
