The Hawks announced two training camp signings in advance of camp officially kicking off next week.
Lamont Butler was reported to be joining the Hawks immediately after the conclusion of the 2025 NBA Draft.
However, the terms of that agreement were never officially (or even strongly reportedly) finalized. Butler was even on the Las Vegas Summer League team roster, but he never appeared in a single game out west .
Now, months later, the Hawks have (yes, as strongly as could be) reportedly added him on an Exhibit 10 deal per Brad Rowland of the Locked on Hawks podcast:
Butler is a defensive-minded guard who last played for the Kentucky Wildcats.
Malik Williams comes with NBA experience as a 6’11” center who played in seven games for the Toronto Raptors last season, starting two. He has a long track record in the G League with two full seasons of work as a bruising big man (18 points, 13 rebounds, and two blocks per 36 minutes in his G League career) with a real outside shot (37% three-point shooter on 5.8 attempts per 36 minutes in his G League career).
Both players will likely be waived in the coming day and eventually end up with the College Park Skyhawks.
