Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Assigned to G League

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Out indefinitely with MCL sprain
Dante has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to an MCL sprain in his left knee and doesn't have a timetable to return, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
It's unclear when Dante sustained the knee injury, though he will miss Tuesday's contest and likely at least a few weeks. However, his absence shouldn't cause any waves in Atlanta's rotation, as he has averaged just 3.8 minutes per game across four regular-season appearances thus far. He was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday and will begin his rehab with the NBA club.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Recalled Tuesday
Dante was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
Dante will rejoin the parent club after being sent to College Park on Monday. The 24-year-old center has averaged just 4.7 minutes per game in three regular-season appearances for the Hawks thus far, so his presence shouldn't impact the team's rotation unless injuries arise.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Three boards in four minutes
Dante finished Friday's 111-107 win over the Magic with three rebounds across four minutes.
Dante didn't get much time on the floor during Friday's game. However, he managed to crash the glass in that short time. It's not likely the Oregon product will get many opportunities this season, meaning he's a non-factor from a fantasy perspective.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Sliding back to bench
Dante will be utilized off the bench during Thursday's preseason game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Grabs 10 rebounds
Dante (ankle) tallied no points (0-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 13 minutes in Monday's 122-113 preseason loss to the Rockets.
Dante didn't score but made his presence felt on the glass, grabbing a game-high 10 rebounds to open the preseason. The Oregon product suffered a left ankle sprain July 14 during Summer League play with the Rockets before signing with the Hawks on Aug. 19, but his participation Monday suggests the injury is no longer lingering.

Hawks' N'Faly Dante: Heads to Atlanta
Dante's (ankle) contract with the Hawks became official on Tuesday.
The Hawks signed Dante to a two-year, $4.5 million offer sheet back on Saturday, and the Rockets declined to match the deal. He's unlikely to crack the rotation early on in Atlanta, and he could see the bulk of his minutes in the G League.

Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Doesn't play in SL finale
Dante (ankle) didn't play in Saturday's 104-101 Summer League win over the Timberwolves.
Dante sustained a sprained left ankle in Monday's overtime loss to the Hawks in Summer League play and didn't return for the team's final two games. The 23-year-old center spent the 2024-25 campaign on a two-way pact with Houston but appeared in only four regular-season outings for the parent club. Over 42 games with the G League's Rio Grande Valley Vipers in 2024-25, Dante averaged 15.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.1 assists across 26.8 minutes per contest.

Dante (ankle) will not return to Monday's Summer League contest against the Hawks, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Dante left Monday's game early in the first quarter with a reported left ankle sprain. He had been receiving steady minutes in Summer League play, including a 19-minute showing Sunday against the Pistons in which he posted six points, four rebounds, three assists and two blocks. The big man saw limited NBA action last season, appearing in just four regular-season games for the Rockets and averaging 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 12.8 minutes per contest.

Rockets' N'Faly Dante: Makes NBA debut Monday
Dante racked up 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 19 minutes during Monday's 137-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
Dante made his NBA debut Monday, as four of the club's usual starters were sidelined. The big man finished one rebound shy of a double-double in an efficient performance. The 23-year-old will likely struggle to earn playing time unless several injuries to key contributors arise, though his level of play Monday is an encouraging sign for the future. The two-way center has appeared in 31 games for the club's G League affiliate, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, averaging 14.1 points, 9.1 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.7 minutes per contest this season.

Dante made his NBA debut Monday against the Thunder, finishing with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 19 minutes. The Rockets are likely to get some healthy bodies back in the rotation Tuesday, so it's not a surprise to see Dante back with the Vipers.
