Atlanta Hawks Waive David Roddy Amid Roster Changes

The Atlanta Hawks have announced the decision to waive forward David Roddy, marking a significant move in their ongoing roster reconfiguration. Roddy, who was acquired from the Phoenix Suns in July 2024, was part of a roster that reached its maximum limit of 15 players. This decision comes in the wake of the Hawks needing to create space following their recent trade for Terance Mann and Bones Hyland from the Los Angeles Clippers, which was finalized as part of a deal involving Bogdan Bogdanovic.

During the current season, Roddy participated in 27 games for the Hawks, averaging 4.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game over an average of 12.8 minutes on the floor. His shooting percentages included 47.3% from the field and 37.2% from beyond the arc, along with an 81.8% success rate from the free throw line. Prior to his time with Atlanta, Roddy was the 23rd overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, spending time with the Memphis Grizzlies before being traded to the Suns and eventually the Hawks.

This roster change reflects the Hawks’ strategy as they navigate the trade market and adjust their team composition amid a competitive NBA landscape. Roddy’s waiver allows him the opportunity to sign with another team, pending the results of the waiver process, which will take place over the weekend.
