The Atlanta Hawks assigned Asa Newell to the G League after a string of unsuccessful outings as a center. This move came alongside the Hawks promoting two two-way players from the College Park Skyhawks to the big-league team: RayJ Dennis and Caleb Houstan. While the Hawks have demoted Newell recently, this was simply to get extra playing time – after one day with the Skyhawks, the Hawks promoted him back to the NBA roster before their next game.
The Atlanta Hawks announced today that forward Asa Newell has been assigned to the College Park Skyhawks from the Hawks, while two-way guard RayJ Dennis and two-way guard/forward Caleb Houstan have been transferred to the Skyhawks from the Hawks.
