Eli John Ndiaye: Cut loose by Atlanta

The Hawks waived on Ndiaye (shoulder) on Wednesday.

Ndiaye had been signed to a two-way deal with Atlanta, but he didn't make his NBA debut before he sustained a torn labrum Dec. 9 while playing with the G League's College Park Skyhawks, which will require season-ending surgery on his left shoulder. The Hawks will sign point guard RayJ Dennis to fill Ndiaye's vacated two-way slot.
