Keshon Gilbert, a guard on a two-way deal with the Hawks, underwent surgery on a core muscle on Tuesday, according to the team (Twitter link via Lauren L. Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
Gilbert, a 6’4″, 22-year-old rookie, played just one game with the Hawks this season after signing with the team in March. He started the season with the Wizards, making three NBA appearances during his time in Washington after going undrafted out of Iowa State in 2015.
Gilbert scored 11 points and added nine assists in 26 minutes of action during the last game of the season for the Hawks, a 143-117 loss to the Heat.
He will be reevaluated in June, and his status will be updated at that time.
Gilbert’s two-way contract with the Hawks is a two-year deal that covers 2026/27, so the team won’t have to decide this June whether or not to issue him a qualifying offer.
