ATLANTA (AP) — Nikola Đurišić has signed with the Atlanta Hawks after playing last season in the NBA G League, the team announced Friday.
The 21-year-old Đurišić played 32 games with the College Park Skyhawks in the 2024-25 G League season and averaged 10.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists. He was the No. 43 overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft, and the Hawks acquired his rights in June 2024 in a three-way trade with Miami and Houston.
The 6-foot-8 guard-forward was sixth in scoring in the Adriatic League in 2023-24, averaging 15.4 points over 30 games for Mega (Serbia).
Terms of his contract with the Hawks were not released.
