Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Iffy for Sunday
Rotowire
Wallace (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
Wallace's availability for Sunday's game is uncertain as he deals with flu-like symptoms. The 26-year-old had seen limited action to start the year but logged 17 minutes in his last outing Friday, posting 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal with Trae Young (knee) out. If Wallace is unable to play, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Luke Kennard will be tasked with handling the bulk of the work at point guard.

Rotowire
Wallace posted 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 17 minutes during Friday's 128-108 victory over the Pacers.
Wallace provided steady production off the bench despite logging only 17 minutes on the night. He handled his heaviest workload of the young season and rewarded his squad with season highs in points, rebounds and assists. Wallace is still trying to make his way into the rotation and doesn't currently hold much value.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Inks two-way deal with Atlanta
Rotowire
Wallace agreed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on Friday.
Wallace is returning to the Hawks on another two-way contract after hitting restricted free agency this summer. He appeared in 31 regular-season games (five starts) at the NBA level last season, averaging 5.4 points, 2.6 assists and 1.6 rebounds across 16.2 minutes per contest. The guard's best showing came April 13, when he notched his first career triple-double against the Magic.
Wallace, who is on a two-way contract with Atlanta, is ineligible for the NBA postseason.
Wallace made a total of 31 appearances at the NBA level and was used sparingly by the Hawks, averaging 5.4 points, 2.6 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 16.2 minutes. He was a standout for the College Park Skyhawks, however, averaging 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 3.0 three-pointers in 31.5 minutes.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: First career triple-double
Rotowire
Wallace finished with 15 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, 15 assists and five steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 victory over the Magic.
Wallace was phenomenal in the regular-season finale, recording the first triple-double of his young career. Playing behind Trae Young has limited Wallace's opportunities this season, although he has flashed enough upside to convince the coaching staff he has a future in Atlanta. Should the Hawks advance beyond the Play-In Tournament, it is unlikely Wallace will see much, if any, court time.

Hawks' Keaton Wallace: Gets garbage-time minutes in return
Rotowire
Wallace (shoulder) played the final 6:04 of Saturday's 121-105 loss to the Knicks, finishing with two points (1-2 FG), three assists, one rebound, one steal and one block.
Available to play for the first time since March 13 after suffering an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder during his final appearance of the season for the G League's College Park Skyhawks, Wallace saw some action Saturday, but he wasn't part of head coach Quin Snyder's rotation while the game was competitive. The 26-year-old will likely need the Hawks to be without Trae Young or Dyson Daniels for a given game before he sees enough playing time to make for an attractive streaming option or punt play in DFS lineups.
