Hawks Sign Forward Vit Krejci to Two-Way Contract

Krejci was signed to a two-way contract today by the Hawks

Earlier today, the Hawks waived forward Miles Norris and that opened up a roster spot. The 6-10 forward was signed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on July 6, 2023, and Norris appeared in three preseason games with Atlanta and four NBA 2K24 Summer League contests. He saw action in 16 games (14 starts) with the College Park Skyhawks of the NBA G League this season, averaging 9.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.2 steals in 27.0 minutes per game (.414 FG%, .305 3FG%, .636 FT%). 

The Hawks filled that roster spot today with a familiar face.
