Atlanta Hawks two-way rookie forward Eli Ndiaye will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.
Former Real Madrid forward and current Atlanta Hawks two-way rookie Eli Ndiaye’s season has come to a sudden end.
The Hawks announced that Ndiaye will undergo season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.
Ndiaye sustained a left shoulder subluxation during the G League affiliate College Park Skyhawks’ game against Long Island on December 9. An MRI following the game revealed that Ndiaye tore the labrum in his left shoulder, ultimately requiring surgery that is scheduled for early January.
Ndiaye, who went undrafted in the 2025 NBA Draft, signed a two-way contract with Atlanta prior to the season, though he has yet to make his official NBA debut.
In the G League this season, Ndiaye appeared in nine games, averaging 8.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.
