Hawks Intend To Sign Christian Koloko To Two-Way Deal

An open two-way slot positions the 25-year-old center for evaluation following brief Lakers duty then a 20-day run with Memphis.

Overview

  • The addition is reported by Lauren L. Williams of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, as relayed by Hoops Rumors.
  • Atlanta currently has a two-way opening, so no corresponding waiver is expected.
  • Koloko started 2025–26 on a two-way with the Lakers before being waived in late November to create space for Drew Timme.
  • He spent about a week with the G League’s Austin Spurs, then signed consecutive 10-day hardship contracts with the Grizzlies beginning December 22 before departing when the second deal expired.
  • Across 11 appearances for Memphis he averaged 2.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 1.2 blocks in 17.7 minutes; he missed 2023–24 with a now-resolved blood clot and has career averages of 2.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 108 games.
