In a strategic roster move that signals both a farewell and a forward-looking transition, the Atlanta Hawks have decided to waive seasoned guard Patty Mills, league sources confirm. The departure of the 15-year NBA veteran comes amidst a season where Mills has showcased his sharpshooting prowess, maintaining an impressive 38.2 percent accuracy from beyond the arc despite a limited role within the team.
The decision to part ways with Mills underscores the Hawks' commitment to reshaping their roster dynamics and creating opportunities for emerging talent. With an eye towards the future, the organization is set to utilize the open roster spot to convert two-way guard Trent Forrest onto a standard NBA contract, as per league sources familiar with the matter.
Forrest, a familiar face within the Hawks organization, has steadily impressed with his contributions on both ends of the floor throughout the season. Having appeared in 20 games so far, the second-year guard has showcased his defensive tenacity and playmaking abilities, making a compelling case for an elevation to a full-time role within the team.
