The Hawks have re-signed Jacob Toppin to a two-way contract, according to a team release. Atlanta originally signed Toppin to a two-way deal in March.
The Kentucky alum and younger brother of Pacers forward Obi Toppin played his first season-and-a-half on a two-way deal with the Knicks before being waived on March 1. He was picked up just three days later by Atlanta.
Jacob Toppin has 26 games of NBA experience, averaging 1.4 points in those games. In his one and only game with Atlanta, he scored 17 points. He has played much more at the G League level, averaging 19.4 points in 65 career NBAGL games.
With Toppin and Eli Ndiaye signed to two-way contracts, the Hawks have one opening left. That spot is reportedly going to Lamont Butler, though his deal hasn’t been finalized yet.
Once that agreement is complete, the team will have no more two-way spots to offer, but because those contracts aren’t guaranteed, the Hawks could swap out one or more of those players ahead of or during the season if they like.
