Malik Williams secures a two-way deal with the Atlanta Hawks

The Atlanta Hawks have officially inked Malik Williams to a two-way contract, rewarding his impressive performance with their affiliate. Before this call-up, Williams excelled for the College Park Skyhawks in the G League, appearing in fourteen games during the current campaign. The former Louisville standout posted dominant averages of 16.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks over 27.4 minutes per contest. This opportunity marks a return to the NBA level for the big man, who previously saw limited action during the conclusion of the 2023-24 season.

Back then, he appeared in seven matchups for the Toronto Raptors while playing on two separate ten-day deals. Since that brief professional stint in Toronto, Williams has remained developing in the G League, proving he deserves another shot at the highest level with Atlanta.
