Mike Muscala will play for the Hawks’ entry in the Las Vegas Summer League.

The Hawks center is entering his third year and will likely have a greater role during the upcoming regular season with the departures of centers Elton Brand and Pero Antic.

Muscala played 40 games last season and averaged 4.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.6 minutes. He played in 10 of the 16 postseason games.

The Las Vegas Summer League runs from July 10-20. The Hawks will play at least five games. They have three scheduled games before the start of a seeded tournament.

A complete summer league roster will be announced at a later date. The team is scheduled to depart for practices in Las Vegas on July 7.

Muscala averaged 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds in last year’s tournament.
