Hawks' Jalen Wilson: Signs two-way deal with Hawks
Wilson signed a two-way deal with the Hawks on Monday, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
Wilson averaged 6.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 made threes in 15.9 minutes over 54 regular-season appearances with the Nets during the 2025-26 season. The former Kansas standout spent the first three years of his career in Brooklyn and is looking to spark his career following a change of scenery.

Hawks' Ryan Nembhard: Sent to Atlanta
The Mavericks traded Nembhard (illness) to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for Zaccharie Risacher as part of a three-team deal with the Thunder, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Hawks will receive Nembhard and Luguentz Dort, while the Thunder acquire three second-round picks. While his minutes weren't always very consistent, Nembhard played a fairly meaningful role for the Mavericks in his rookie campaign. Over 60 regular-season appearances (27 starts) in 2025-26, the 23-year-old point guard averaged 6.6 points, 5.3 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per contest. He figures to provide depth behind CJ McCollum and Kingston Flemings (rest).

Hawks' Luguentz Dort: Traded to Atlanta
The Thunder traded Dort to the Hawks on Sunday in exchange for three second-round picks as part of a three-team deal with the Mavericks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Thunder picked up the defensive-minded swingman's $17.7 million team option in June but are now flipping him for draft capital. The Hawks will receive Dort and Ryan Nembhard (illness), while the Mavericks acquire 2024 No. 1 overall pick Zaccharie Risacher. Dort's production took a fairly significant hit in 2025-26, during which he averaged 8.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting just 38.5 percent from the field in 26.8 minutes per game across 69 regular-season appearances. He figures to play significant minutes thanks to his defensive prowess, though he could come off the bench behind Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Dyson Daniels.

Hawks' Kobe Johnson: Tallies three blocks in SL loss
Johnson recorded 13 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four assists, four rebounds, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Saturday's 91-83 Summer League loss to Washington.
Johnson led the Hawks with three blocks while finishing tied with Gabe Madsen as the team's second-leading scorer behind Devon Higgs (22 points). Johnson played in 27 games (22 starts) for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League last season and averaged 15.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 threes over 31.1 minutes per contest. He figures to spend most, if not all, of 2026-27 in the G League.

Hawks' Devon Higgs: Leads Atlanta in scoring Saturday
Higgs finished Saturday's 91-83 Summer League loss to the Wizards with 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 30 minutes.
Higgs struggled from three-point range but was efficient enough from within the arc to lead the Hawks in scoring while finishing tied with Wizards' John Camden for the most points in Saturday's game. It's the second 20-plus point game of the Summer League for Higgs, which could be enough for him to catch on with the Hawks or another team for training camp in September.

He split his time between the Hawks and the G League during the 2025-26 season but averaged just 11.4 minutes per game across 44 regular-season contests (two starts). Newell figures to compete with Aaron Wiggins and Mouhamed Gueye (foot) for bench minutes in 2026-27.

Hawks' Isaiah Wong: Leads Hawks in scoring Thursday
Wong finished with 20 points (7-11 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists, four steals and one block across 22 minutes in Thursday's 96-64 Summer League loss to the Grizzlies.
Wong was the No. 55 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He appeared in 21 regular-season games with the Pacers and Hornets, averaging 5.8 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists while shooting 38.2 percent from deep over 12.9 minutes. Wong is looking for another opportunity in the NBA, and while that could happen, he would likely need to work his way through the G League.

Hawks' Zeke Mayo: Tallies 10 points off bench in SL
Mayo accumulated 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes during Thursday's 96-64 Summer League loss to the Grizzlies.
Mayo was one of the lone bright spots of the evening for Atlanta. He led the bench in points and joined Isaiah Wong as the only other Hawk to score in double figures. Mayo will presumably draw another opportunity over the weekend as Summer League wraps up.

Hawks' Isaac McKneely: Suffers shoulder injury
McKneely won't return to Thursday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies due to a right shoulder injury, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The Hawks fell behind by a large margin early, so there's no need to push McKneely back into action after he picked up a shoulder injury Thursday night. He can be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Flemings (rest) won't play in Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Flemings played two games during the Salt Lake City Summer League before making two appearances in Las Vegas. The 2026 No. 8 overall pick wasn't consistently productive during those four contests, though it's evident the team is still comfortable keeping him off the floor.
