The Atlanta Hawks have announced that they requested waivers on center Jahlil Okafor, who they signed ahead of training camp to potentially compete for one of their final roster spots.
Okafor did not play much after the Hawks’ first preseason game vs. the Miami Heat, only reemerging in the rotation after Gorgui Dieng suffered a hand injury in the first half of the Hawks’ third preseason game vs. the Memphis Grizzlies.
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot may now be the favorite to take the final roster spot for the Hawks heading into the season, though there is still time for another move to surface, of course.
