Edgar Sosa, Arsalan Kazemi waived by Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have cut their training camp roster by two after waiving Edgar Sosa and Arsalan Kazemi.

The Atlanta Hawks have 14 players with guaranteed contracts for the 2015-2016 season, leaving several players in a battle for exactly one regular season roster spot. With that in mind, the team has reportedly parted ways with two contenders for that role in waiving point guard Edgar Sosa and forward Arsalan Kazemi.

Neither Sosa nor Kazemi (who was released by the Sixers in order to pursue this opportunity in Atlanta) was expected to seriously contend for a regular season spot, and that was reflected in their limited preseason playing time.
