Hawks to sign Dominick Barlow to standard contract

Atlanta currently has no room on its standard roster for Barlow, having just inked swingman Kevon Harris to a 10-day contract on Saturday. Should Barlow officially be signed before Harris’ contract expires on March 10, the team would have to waive another player to make room on its standard 15-man roster for Barlow.

The 6’9″ combo forward skipped college, and instead played for Overtime Elite’s Team Overtime in 2021/22.

Barlow, 21, spent his first two NBA seasons with the Spurs. He spent all of his rookie year on a two-way deal with San Antonio in 2022/23, and started off 2023/24 on a two-way contract, too, before seeing that agreement converted to a standard deal at the end of that season.

He has played sparingly for Atlanta proper so far this year, seeing action in 18 games (two starts). Across just 7.8 minutes per, Barlow is averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 boards.

Barlow has, however, made a bigger splash with Atlanta’s G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks in 2024/25.

In 13 Tip-Off Tournament games for the Skyhawks, Barlow averaged 19.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.6 steals a night. Across four regular season bouts with College Park, Barlow had been averaging 20.8 points, 7.8 boards, 1.5 dimes, 0.8 swipes and 0.8 rejections.
