The Hawks might turn to Kris Humphries to fill their vacant roster spot.
Humphries will have his contract bought out by the Suns on Sunday, according to the Arizona Republic. The Hawks will be a team interested in signing the forward was he clears waivers, according to a person familiar with the situation. Sheridan Hoops reported Saturday night that the Hawks are the favorite to sign Humphries.
By being bought out Sunday, Humphries would clear waivers at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, in time to be signed by March 1, the NBA’s playoff waiver eligibility deadline. Humphries was scheduled to make $4.
