The Hawks have waived power forward Deyonta Davis, Michael Scotto of The Athletic tweets.
Davis had a non-guaranteed salary of $1,645,357 for next season. He would have received a partial guarantee if he remained on the roster through July. Letting him go early gives Davis a better chance to hook onto another team, rather than keeping him on the roster after most free agents around the league had already signed.
Davis signed a multi-year contract with Atlanta late in the season after a pair of 10-day stints.
The 31st overall pick in the 2016 draft, Davis spent his first two NBA seasons with the Grizzlies before playing primarily for the Santa Cruz Warriors in the G League this season.
Davis appeared in nine games with the Hawks, averaging 4.0 PPG and 4.0 RPG in 13.1 minutes per contest.
It makes sense that they are cutting non-guaranteed contracts after absorbing Crabbe’s contract.
