Hawks Trade AJ Griffin to Rockets for Second-Round Draft Pick

Atlanta acquires Serbian guard Nikola Djurisic in multi-team deal involving Miami Heat

AJ Griffin, a 2022 first-round pick, struggled with injuries and limited playtime last season.
The Hawks received the No. 44 pick from the Rockets and traded it to Miami for Djurisic.
Miami obtained Pelle Larsson and cash considerations in the transaction.
Griffin averaged 8.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in his rookie season with Atlanta.
The move clears playing time for Atlanta's No. 1 overall pick, Zaccharie Risacher.
