The Hawks have signed shooting guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot to a one-year, non-guaranteed deal, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic tweets.
The 26-year-old Luwawu-Cabarrot is a five-year NBA veteran. He played for the Nets for the past two years, including 58 regular-season appearances last season. He averaged 6.4 PPG, 2.2 RPG and 1.2 APG but shot just 36.5% from the field. He’s made 33.1% of his 3-point shots during his career.
Luwawu-Cabarrot also made 11 postseason appearances over the last two seasons. He became an unrestricted free agent after the season.
Atlanta has 16 other players under contract, including 14 on guaranteed deals, so Luwawu-Cabarrot will likely be competing for the last spot on the 15-man opening-night roster. The Hawks also have another player reportedly on a training camp deal and both two-way slots filled, which would give them a full 20-player roster heading into camp.
Dang. I thought he was gonna be on the Heat for sure
Love this move. He’s Tim from now on tho. Atl already has a legendary TLC
Agreed. Always liked his game, good catch and shoot guy not afraid to pull the trigger. Plays hard defense and is confident. Surprised the interest was scarce enough for him to get a non-guaranteed deal. Nice move for the Hawks.
Ha ha, TLC is back in Atlanta! Perhaps it’s time for a re-release of the old albums!
