Overview
- League sources reported Monday that Jalen Wilson agreed to a two-way contract with the Atlanta Hawks, a deal first posted by HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto and picked up by multiple outlets.
- A two-way contract limits the number of days a player can be with the NBA club and routes the player between the parent team and the G League while preserving a chance to convert to a standard roster deal.
- Wilson, a 51st overall pick in the 2023 draft out of Kansas, averaged 6.4 points and 2.1 rebounds in 54 games in 2025–26 after peaking at 9.5 points per game in 2024–25.
- Brooklyn declined to tender a qualifying offer to Wilson this offseason, freeing him to sign with any team and reflecting a roster squeeze caused by recent draft classes and offseason additions.
- The Hawks gave Wilson a playoff-capable environment where his experience could make him one of the stronger two-way players if he wins minutes, while the Nets continue to focus on youth and roster overhaul.
