The Hawks are declining their team option on center Dominick Barlow, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports (via Twitter).
Barlow’s option was for $2.2MM. The 22-year-old 6’9″ big man will become an unrestricted free agent with the move.
Barlow played 35 games with the Hawks this season after spending his first two years with the Spurs. He averaged 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds for the Hawks in 10.7 minutes a night, numbers that are basically in line with his career averages, but he failed to carve out a real role for himself.
The Overtime Elite alumnus has performed well in the G League, but is still searching for a long-term NBA spot after the Spurs opted not to keep him last summer.
