The Hawks announced Wednesday that they waived forward Eli Ndiaye, who had a two-way contract.
Ndiaye appeared in nine games (seven starts) with the College Park Skyhawks of the NBA G League, averaging 8.1 points, 6.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 26.2 minutes.

The forward later was diagnosed with a torn labrum in his left shoulder and will have surgery in early January. It forces Ndiaye to miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
The 6-foot-8 forward was signed by the Hawks to a two-way contract in July.
The Hawks already waived two-way forward Jacob Toppin earlier this month and signed Skyhawks center Malik Williams to the available two-way spot. The team could sign another member of the Skyhawks.
The Hawks have 16 players signed to the roster, 14 on guaranteed deals and two on two-way contracts.
