Hawks to Waive Guard Devin Carter After Short Stint

The Atlanta Hawks have decided to waive guard Devin Carter, according to a report from Jake Fischer of Yahoo and the Stein Line substack blog. Carter was brought to the team during the offseason, but his tenure in Atlanta will be short-lived.

Carter, who was a lottery pick just two seasons ago, was traded to the Hawks along with a 2033 second-round pick. This move indicated that the Hawks were primarily interested in acquiring a future asset rather than Carter himself.

Assuming Carter goes unclaimed on the waiver wire, the Hawks will be responsible for approximately $5.2 million in salary for the 2026-27 season. This decision marks a significant shift for the franchise as they continue to reshape their roster.
