Mills appeared in only 19 games for the Hawks this season, the first with the team for the 15-year veteran. He averaged 2.7 points, 1.1 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 10.6 minutes. Because he was waived before March 1, Mills is eligible to be on a postseason roster of any team that signs him.

Forrest has appeared in 20 games for the Hawks this season. He averaged 2.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 10.5 minutes.
