The Atlanta Hawks re-signed center Jock Landale on Friday to a one-year, $14 million contract, the team announced.

Landale, 29, split last season between the Hawks and the Memphis Grizzlies, averaging 11.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 38 games with Memphis. After being dealt to Atlanta at the trade deadline, he averaged 9.1 points and 4.1 rebounds in 23 games but fell out of the rotation for the playoffs.

The Atlanta Hawks re-signed veteran guard CJ McCollum on Friday to a one-year, $21 million contract, locking in the team’s starting backcourt alongside Trae Young for the 2026-27 season.

The deal, first reported by ESPN’s Shams Charania, includes a player option for a second year, sources confirmed to WACN 21. McCollum, 34, averaged 19.3 points and 5.9 assists after being acquired from New Orleans at last year’s trade deadline.

“This is a great fit,” McCollum said in a statement released by the team. “Coach Snyder and his staff have put together a roster that can compete in the East, and I’m excited to be a part of it.”

Hawks land Aaron Wiggins from Thunder as first major move of NBA free agency

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 11:30:00 -0400

The Atlanta Hawks made the first significant move of NBA free agency on Monday, acquiring guard Aaron Wiggins from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for two future second-round draft picks.

Wiggins, 26, averaged 8.3 points and 3.6 rebounds last season while shooting 39 percent from three-point range. He had fallen out of Oklahoma City’s deep playoff rotation but projects as a high-impact wing in Atlanta, where the Hawks’ bench scored almost nothing during a six-game first-round loss to the New York Knicks.
