Hawks' Jacob Toppin: Receives two-way deal
Rotowire
The Hawks will sign Toppin to a two-way deal Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
After being cut by the Knicks on Sunday, Toppin will find a home with a new organization on another two-way deal. The 24-year-old forward began the season under a two-way pact with New York, but he struggled to see playing time at the NBA level, averaging 3.1 minutes per game over 16 appearances. His playing-time outlook won't dramatically improve in Atlanta, so Toppin could end up seeing most of his opportunities in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.

Jacob Toppin: Waived by New York
Rotowire
The Knicks waived Toppin on Sunday.
Re-signed by New York to a two-way contract in August, Toppin appeared in just 16 games for the parent club, averaging just 3.1 minutes per contest. Because he had been active for the maximum 50 games allotted to two-way players, Toppin was no longer eligible to suit up in NBA games for the rest of the season. The Knicks will presumably look to bring in another two-way player who has the flexibility to contribute at both the NBA and G League levels.

Jacob Toppin: Deal with New York expires
Rotowire
Toppin became a free agent Saturday after his 10-day contract with the Knicks expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Toppin has been a member of the Knicks' roster all season, but he was recently moved off a two-way deal to a 10-day contract. The Knicks will have the option of retaining Toppin on a second 10-day pact, but it's unclear if they'll do so or if they'll look to use the open roster spot on another player. Toppin has appeared in just eight games at the NBA level this season, averaging 1.6 points and 0.9 rebounds in 4.6 minutes.

The Knicks signed Toppin to a 10-day contract Thursday, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Toppin had been occupying one of the Knicks' three two-way slots, but he'll now move on to the 15-man roster along with fellow 10-day signee DaQuan Jeffries prior to Thursday's game in Philadelphia. The undrafted rookie out of Kentucky is averaging just 2.6 points and 1.2 rebounds in 6.6 minutes across his five NBA appearances so far in 2023-24 and may continue to see most of his time in the G League with the Westchester Knicks, despite the fact that he's no longer a two-way player.
