The Hawks have officially waived 21-year-old forward Nikola Djurisic.

After being selected with the 43rd pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Djurisic spent the last two seasons in the G League, not making his NBA debut this season despite formally being assigned to the Hawks’ roster.

Playing for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League this season, he averaged 9.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.7 assists per game.

After waiving Djurisic, the Hawks are converting the two-way contract of sharpshooter Caleb Houstan to a regular deal.

In 10 games with Atlanta this season, Houstan has averaged 2.3 points on 50% three-point shooting.
