Keaton Wallace is off the Atlanta Hawks roster as of Monday, Sept. 21, with no destination team attached to the move. The 27-year-old guard, who has two seasons of NBA experience, is no longer listed with the club he played for last season.
The move
Keaton Wallace is off the Atlanta Hawks roster. The change showed up in the team's official roster on Monday, Sept. 21, with no destination team attached, just an exit from Atlanta's roster. Wallace, 27, has two seasons of NBA experience and spent last season with the Hawks. No transaction report preceded the move; it was picked up directly from the roster change, with no source or confidence level attached to it.
The money
Wallace's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap number is unknown for now. Atlanta's payroll stands at $198.3 million across 18 contracts for 2026-27, over the $165.0 million cap but under the $200.4 million luxury tax line. The Hawks also sit below the $209.0 million first apron and the $221.7 million second apron. Where Wallace's number lands, once filed, will factor into how much room Atlanta has left under those tax lines this season.
The fit
Wallace averaged 3.5 points, 1.1 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 10.1 minutes across 53 games last season, a reserve role in Atlanta's backcourt mix. The Hawks' rotation last season leaned on Jalen Johnson at 35.2 minutes, Nickeil Alexander-Walker at 33.4, Dyson Daniels at 33.2, Onyeka Okongwu at 31.0, CJ McCollum at 28.8, Trae Young at 28.0, Keshon Gilbert at 25.5 and Kristaps Porziņģis at 24.3. Atlanta now carries 19 players on the roster, four above the 15-man standard limit once the three two-way spots are set aside.
