Hawks trim roster to 18 ahead of start of training camp
The Hawks announced their training camp roster on Friday evening.
The team opens training camp on Tuesday, as it looks to finalize the roster before its regular season begins on Oct. 22.
In the lead-up to the release of this year’s training camp roster, the Hawks signed a flurry of players to Exhibit 10 contracts. But the team waived guard Lamont Butler, forward Kobe Johnson and center Malik Williams on Friday.
The Hawks now carry 18 players on the roster. Though they’ve made some moves to reach the maximum number of players allowed on a regular-season roster, the Hawks still need to decide whether they will sign players to the remaining available standard contracts.
