Hawks sign guard to final open two-way roster spot

The Hawks have signed a guard to their last open two-way spot. The team announced Friday that it re-signed guard Keaton Wallace to a two-way contract.

Wallace played a key role in the Hawks’ run to the NBA Cup semifinals. He helped them with a win over the Celtics in the absence of Trae Young, who missed the action with an Achilles injury.

The 6-3 guard appeared in 31 games, including five starts for the Hawks during the 2024-25 season. He averaged 5.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists. In his five starts, he recorded 13.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 2.2 steals.

Wallace put up his first career triple-double of 15 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds, in addition to swiping five steals, in 37 minutes against the Orlando Magic on April 13. He became the first player in franchise history to finish a game with 15-plus points, 15-plus assists, 10-plus rebounds and 5-plus steals.

He appeared in four games in four days for the Hawks and Skyhawks this past season, playing over 86 total minutes over those four outings. He traveled over 2,200 total miles: Dec. 27 (College Park at Osceola), Dec. 28 (Atlanta vs. Miami), Dec. 29 (Atlanta at Toronto), Dec. 30 (College Park vs. Windy City).
