Rotowire
Dennis agreed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
The second-year point guard will move on to his third organization of the season after he had previously been signed to two-way deals with the Pacers and Clippers before being cut loose by both teams. Between the two stops, Dennis appeared in 14 games at the NBA level and averaged 4.6 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 12.3 minutes per contest while shooting 30.6 percent from the field. Atlanta waived Eli John Ndiaye (shoulder) to open up one of its three two-way slots for Dennis, who is likely to see the bulk of his playing time in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.

Pacers' RayJ Dennis: Reduced role continues
Rotowire
Dennis accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across five minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to Denver.
Dennis logged five minutes for the second straight game, continuing to see his role reduce as the Pacers start to get healthy players back into the rotation. Given he has now played fewer than 10 minutes in three consecutive contests, fantasy managers can safely move on in all formats.
