The Atlanta Hawks plan to sign forward Wes Iwundu to a 10-Day hardship contract. Iwundu will join Malcolm Hill and Lance Stephenson as hardship players for the Hawks.

Atlanta is without Trae Young, Clint Capela and Danilo Gallinari due to the NBA's health and safety protocols. The Hawks also have Solomon Hill and De'Andre Hunter out with long-term injuries.

Iwundu has played for the Orlando Magic, Dallas Mavericks and New Orleans Pelicans. Iwundu was waived at the end of the 2021 preseason by the Charlotte Hornets.
