The Hawks waived Etienne on Sunday, Pat Benson of SI.com reports.
Etienne tried to compete for a spot on the Opening Night roster, but that was always going to be complicated, and in the end, he is now a free agent and needs to decide where he'll continue his career. Having said that, Etienne is likely to stay with the organization but as a member of its G-League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks.
