The Hawks have added another body to camp, signing forward Keyshawn Bryant and waiving guard Devon Higgs, the team announced in a press release.
Bryant arrives with a solid G League résumé. He has spent three seasons in the league, playing for the Ontario Clippers, San Diego Clippers and Windy City Bulls. Across 40 career games, he has averaged 9.4 points and 3.6 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game.
His most productive stretch came with Windy City, where the 6’6” forward posted 12.0 points and 4.1 rebounds in 21.8 minutes a night. That run included a 41-point outburst against the Westchester Knicks. Bryant also spent time with the Bulls’ Summer League team in July and appeared in two games.
Before turning pro, Bryant went undrafted in 2023 after four seasons at South Carolina and one at South Florida. He has also played for the Niagara River Lions in the Canadian Elite Basketball League and the Sudbury Five in the Basketball Super League.
The Hawks did not disclose the terms of Bryant’s deal, but it is likely a non-guaranteed Exhibit 10 contract. That setup can be worth a bonus of up to $91K if he joins the College Park Skyhawks and stays with the G League affiliate for at least 60 days this season.
Higgs was the roster casualty after being signed on Tuesday. He has spent most of his pro career in the G League since going undrafted out of Georgia Southwestern State in 2023, with stops at the Motor City Cruise, Greensboro Swarm and the Skyhawks.
With the moves, Atlanta is back at a full 21-man camp roster.

Jonathan Kuminga's New Situation Could Change How Hawks Fans Feel
Jonathan Kumingas move to Minnesota has plenty of ripple effects for teams that were watching his market closely, including Atlanta. The forward landed with the Timberwolves on a two-year deal and will enter a situation built around defense first, with his agent Aaron Turner pointing to the fit and the flexibility that comes with a player option in the second season. For a player still trying to carve out the right long-term lane, the setting matters as much as the contract.
Robert Horry has already raised the question that hangs over Kumingas next step, wondering whether his offensive chances could be limited in Minnesota. That kind of concern is exactly why this landing spot is getting attention around the league, because it could shape how Kuminga is viewed over the next couple of seasons and whether he is back on the market again in 2027. For Hawks fans tracking the wider conference picture, it is another reminder that one young talents choice can change the way the rest of the league evaluates the next move. [Read more 🡒]
Hawks Front Office Shift Signals A Very Different Atlanta Plan

Atlanta has already brought in Tim Bontemps as a strategic advisor and moved on from Kyle Korver, changes that have underscored a broader front office reset around the teams long-term direction.
Peter Dinwiddie is now the latest addition to that evolving setup, with the Hawks elevating him into a key basketball operations role as they continue building around flexibility. Atlanta has put itself in a position to be patient, with a healthy cap situation and a stockpile of draft assets that give the franchise plenty of options as it tries to decide when and how to make its next move.

Hawks Give A Familiar Summer Standout A Real Chance To Impress

Hell be around the team for practices and media day as he tries to turn a strong audition into something more permanent heading into the NBA season.
Higgs already gave the Hawks a glimpse of why he has lingered on their radar, flashing scoring punch and athleticism during Summer League. He was also one of Atlantas more productive scorers in Las Vegas, and that kind of production is exactly what can keep a player in the conversation when the roster starts to tighten. [Read more 🡒]
