Fantasy Impact: Koloko will compete for a depth bench spot in New Orleans for this upcoming season. The 6-foot-11 big man has spent time with the Raptors, Lakers, Grizzlies and Hawks in the last four years.

Zaccharie Risacher has been traded to the Dallas Mavericks in a three team deal that sees Lu Dort and Ryan Nembhard go to Atlanta and three second round picks to OKC. (Source: Shams Charania on X)

Fantasy Impact: The former No.1 overall pick has worn out his welcome in Atlanta, not living up to the expectations set for him even in a shallow 2024 draft class. He should have the chance to develop on a rebuilding Mavericks team led by Cooper Flagg. The Frenchman’s value is low right now, and that could give dynasty managers a buying opportunity.

Mouhamed Gueye will be re-evaluated in 3-4 months. (Source: Atlanta Hawks on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gueye underwent surgery on Tuesday after he sustained a fractured left foot during a workout last week.

The Atlanta Hawks signed Henri Veesaar to a four-year, $9.3 million deal. (Source: Michael Scotto on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal includes the first two years fully guaranteed and the final two years non-guaranteed. Veesaar was the 52nd pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

The Hawks are declining Jonathan Kuminga’s $24.3 million team option. (Source: Brad Rowland on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Kuminga will enter unrestricted free agency. He should have plenty of suitors.

The Atlanta Hawks will fully guarantee the $9.66 million salary for Buddy Hield. (Source: Michael Scotto on Twitter)

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

The Warriors are expected to show interest in free agent Jock Landale.

Fantasy Impact: Landale spent last season with the Grizzlies and Hawks. He would figure to add depth at center behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

CJ McCollum agreed to a one-year, $21 million contract extension with the Hawks. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The deal also includes a trade kicker. McCollum commits to a new deal that keeps him out of free agency after Atlanta went 19-4 with him as a starter from February 22 through end of the regular season.

Hawks' guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker wins the Most Improved Player award. (Source: Ohm Youngmisuk on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Alexander-Walker averaged a career-high 20.8 points, increasing his scoring by 11.4 points from the 9.4 points per game last season. He is the second Hawk to win the award in a row, following Dyson Daniels.

Onyeka Okongwu is available for Game 2 on Monday against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact: Okongwu is good to go after being listed as questionable. Mouhamed Gueye will remain in his reserve role.

Corey Kispert scored 21 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3PT, 2-3 FT) in Sunday's 143-117 loss to the Heat.

Fantasy Impact: The Hawks, already locked into a playoff spot in the East, rested their regulars on Sunday, giving others an opportunity to step up. Kispert took advantage, as he got hot from three-point range and put up his highest point total since February. In his 39 games since being dealt to the Hawks back in January, Kispert has averaged 9.2 points while shooting 35.4% from long range.

Fantasy Impact: Daniels will be one of many players ruled out for the Hawks in Sunday's regular season finale. Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert and Keaton Wallce will all see more run for Atlanta.

Jalen Johnson has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Johnson will be one of many players ruled out for the Hawks in Sunday's regular season finale. Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert and Keaton Wallce will all see more run for Atlanta.

Gabe Vincent has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Heat. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Vincent will be one of many players ruled out for the Hawks in Sunday's regular season finale. Zaccharie Risacher, Corey Kispert and Keaton Wallce will all see more run for Atlanta.

Keshon Gilbert has signed a two-way contract with the Atlanta Hawks. He'll be eligible for up to 12 regular season games for the remainder of the year. (Source: Jake Fischer on X)

Fantasy Impact: Gilbert, undrafted out of Iowa State in 2025, signed a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract with the Wizards but was waived at the start of camp. He ended up with the Capital City Go-Go of the G League and averaged 13.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Gilbert did appear in three games for the Wizards in a call-up last month and averaged 2.0 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks. He'll remain off the fantasy radar.

The Atlanta Hawks converted Caleb Houstan's two-way contract into a standard deal on Wednesday. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Houstan has been limited to just 10 games with the Hawks this season, averaging 4.9 minutes per game. However, he’s been fantastic in the G-League, averaging 15.5 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting 40 percent from beyond the arc.

Asa Newell started for the first time in his brief NBA career as he filled in for the injured Jalen Johnson. He scored two points, grabbed four rebounds, and had one assist in 25 minutes during Monday's loss to Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact: Newell, who has played sparingly in his rookie season, was averaging just over 11 minutes per game in his first 37 contests before getting the start on Monday. He is averaging 5.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 0.5 assists this season and will return to the bench once Johnson is able to return to the lineup.

The Hawks waived N'Faly Dante.

Fantasy Impact: Dante is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. He will be a free agent this offseason.

Luke Kennard has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers for Gabe Vincent and a second round pick. (Source: Shams Charania via X)

Fantasy Impact: Kennard should provide the Lakers a nice shooter on the outside as the veteran guard has been shooting nearly 50% from three this season, albeit on low volume. If he sees his role grow in LA, he could be a sneaky fantasy add.
