Hawks Sign N’Faly Dante To A 2-Year, $4.5M Deal

The Hawks made a bold move 👀 signing restricted FA N’Faly Dante to a 2-year, $4.5M offer sheet, per HoopsHype. Houston has 2 days to match, but their hard cap issues make that unlikely.

Dante, a near 7-footer from Mali, went undrafted in 2024 after a strong run at Oregon. He flashed in limited NBA minutes (6 PTS, 5.3 REB, 1.3 BLK) and dominated the G League with 15 PTS, 10 REB, and 2.5 BLK on 74% shooting.

Atlanta adds size and rim protection behind Kristaps Porzingis & Onyeka Okongwu, filling their final roster spot with a true center. Rare move for a two-way RFA—smart gamble by the Hawks.
