On Wednesday, the Atlanta Hawks signed guard Matt Maloney to take the place of rookie guard Dan Dickau, who went on the injured list with a slight cartilage tear in his left knee.

A five-year veteran, Maloney did not play in the NBA last season and last played for the Hawks during the 2000-01 campaign. He saw action in 55 games that year, averaging 6.7 ppg and 2.8 apg, shooting 42.0-percent from the field.

In 281 career games, Maloney has posted 7.7 points and 3.0 assists per game.
