The Hawks have waived wing Jordan Bowden and forward Joirdon Nicholas, according to a team press release.
Atlanta signed Bowden to an Exhibit 10 contract on Thursday, and also added Nicholas on a similar contract.
Assuming they clear waivers, they’ll now be eligible for a bonus up to $77.5K if they spend at least 60 days with the G League College Park Skyhawks, Atlanta’s affiliate.
Bowden most recently played for the Montreal Alliance of the Canadian Elite Basketball League, where he averaged 17.4 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 3.1 APG.
Last season, Bowden played in the G League for the Maine Celtics and the Skyhawks, Atlanta’s affiliate. He appeared in a combined 25 regular season games, averaging 13.6 PPG, 3.0 RPG and 1.8 APG in 27.7 MPG. From 2021-23, Bowden played for the Long Island Nets.
The 27-year-old guard played college ball for Tennessee from 2016-20.
Nicholas went undrafted out of Texas Southern in 2023. He suited up for the Lakers’ affiliate, the South Bay Lakers, throughout the 2023/24 season. Across 39 combined regular season and Showcase Cup contests (16 starts), he averaged 8.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
Additionally, Nicholas appeared in 19 contests for the Mexican club Zonkeys de Tijuana in 2023/24.
