Hawks sign guard Antonius Cleveland to 10-day contract

The Hawks signed former Southeast Missouri State guard Antonius Cleveland to a 10-day contract, the team announced Thursday.

Cleveland, a graduate of Faith Baptist Christian Academy in Ludowici, Ga., went undrafted in 2017 and signed a two-way contract with the Dallas Mavericks out of college where he played in 13 games with the Mavericks and seven with the team’s G League team.

Cleveland was at the Hawks practice facility on Thursday. He said he had left ankle surgery in December and is still not cleared to practice.
