The Atlanta Hawks are trimming their roster in preparation for the upcoming season, moving from 16 guaranteed contracts to a final list of 15 plus three two-way players. As part of this process, they have waived guard Devin Carter, a former lottery pick acquired earlier this offseason along with a future second-round pick. Carter’s contract for the 2026-27 season is valued at approximately $5.2 million, which the Hawks will absorb if he goes unclaimed on waivers. This decision reflects the team’s strategy to prioritize future assets while managing their roster effectively.
