The Atlanta Hawks converted forward Caleb Houstan's contract from a two-way deal to a standard NBA contract Thursday. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Houstan, 23, has played in 10 games for Atlanta this season and averaged 2.3 points and 4.9 minutes as a reserve.

The Orlando Magic selected Houstan in the second round (32nd overall) of the 2022 NBA Draft out of Michigan. He played his first three seasons with the Magic and averaged 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 14.4 minutes in 168 games (23 starts) from 2022-25.

Houstan signed a two-way contract with the Hawks on Oct. 18, 2025. He averaged 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 32.9 minutes in 30 games (all starts) this season with the College Park Skyhawks of the NBA G League.

He became the first Hawks player to appear in NBA and G League games on the same day on Dec. 3, playing a daytime game with the Skyhawks and a night game with Atlanta.
