We had a little bit of movement on the transaction front on Tuesday.
With center Bruno Fernando’s guarantee date coming up 48 hours later on August 1 (a date that had been pushed back twice already), the Atlanta Hawks have decided to request waivers on Fernando so as to not guarantee his $2.7 million salary for 2024-25.

This had been Fernando’s second stint with the Hawks, after a 2019-2021 stretch following being grabbed in the second-round of the 2019 NBA Draft.
