Atlanta Hawks center N'Faly Dante will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, the team announced on Tuesday. Dante sustained the injury last Friday while playing for the College Park Skyhawks in the NBA G League Winter Showcase in Orlando, Fla.
The Atlanta Hawks have their next game tomorrow night at home against the Orlando Magic, but they announced a pair of intriguing moves today. Center N'Faly Dante and forward Jacob Toppin (two-way contract) have both been assigned to the College Park Skyhawks, who open their season on Friday.
Last week, the Atlanta Hawks announced two signings that seemingly rounded out their roster. The Hawks signed Rockets center N'Faly Dante and Magic forward Caleb Houstan and that got them to 15 players on their roster, but more details have emerged about the contracts.
Christmas and the NBA go hand-in-hand. The day serves for the top hoops league in the world, like Thanksgiving for the NFL. However, while the Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys are perpetual Thanksgiving participants, the NBA has mixed up the matchups and the teams throughout the years.
Big man N’Faly Dante will join the Hawks, according to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, who reports (via Twitter) that the Rockets aren’t matching the two-year, $4.5MM offer sheet Dante signed with Atlanta.
As the Houston Rockets concluded their four-game trip at the 2025 NBA Summer League, they would go winless after taking a loss to the Portland Trail Blazers in their final game in Vegas.
As the Houston Rockets continue to mold their lineup for next season, one of their restricted free agents could be looking for a new home if the Rockets do not make a move.
Over the years, the Houston Rockets and other NBA teams have used the two-way contract to their advantage. The two-way contract gives teams the ability to keep a player on the team who may not get much time on the NBA roster but can play for the team's G League affiliate.
The Houston Rockets are getting ready to play the Los Angeles Clippers in Tinseltown, but a few players have been assigned to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers in order to get some added reps in.
