The Atlanta Hawks have waived point guard Devin Carter, who will become a free agent once he clears waivers. Atlanta previously acquired the player from Sacramento in June but needed to reduce their roster, which currently holds 16 guaranteed contracts. Boston has emerged as a potential destination for the guard, with reports indicating interest from the Celtics. The team maintains an open roster spot and the flexibility to offer a minimum contract or utilize two-way eligibility. Meanwhile, the NBA Board of Governors is scheduled to meet in New York next Monday and Tuesday to discuss league expansion, the recent findings regarding the Clippers, and European growth initiatives. Atlanta must still complete an additional roster move before the season begins.
