For a brief moment yesterday Jock Landale was off to the Utah Jazz as part of an eight-player trade that also included his star Grizzlies teammate Jaren Jackson Jr.
But according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the 30-year-old Australian centre has now been re-routed to the Atlanta Hawks in a move that—if it sticks—will see Landale link with fellow Boomers stars Dyson Daniels and Duop Reath who himself was only recently acquired from the Portland Trail Blazers.
Landale is in the midst of his best ever season in the NBA, averaging career highs in points (11.3), minutes (23.6), rebounds (6.5) and assists (1.7).
ESPN is reporting Utah moved Landale on the Hawks for cash considerations.

The Hawks will be Landale’s fifth NBA franchise (not counting his 24 hours with the Jazz) having previously suited up for the Spurs, Suns, Rockets and Grizzlies.
Meanwhile in other trade deadline news, Boomers swing man Dante Exum also found himself on the move overnight after being included in the Anthony Davis trade from Dallas to the Washington Wizards.
Other Australians such as Josh Giddey (Bulls), Johnny Furphy (Pacers), Josh Green (Hornets), Joe Ingles (Timberwolves) and Matisse Thybulle (Trail Blazers) so far remain in place—despite plenty of player movement around them.
Of course, with just under 24 hours until the trade deadline anything is possible, so probably best no-one unpacks their bags just yet.
