NBA roster updates: Atlanta Hawks signings and Utah Jazz outlook

The Atlanta Hawks have finalized several roster moves for the 2026 offseason. Key signings include Jock Landale to a one-year, $14.1 million fully guaranteed contract via the mid-level exception, and Devon Higgs to a non-guaranteed minimum salary deal. The team also engaged in multiple trades, acquiring Aaron Wiggins from the Thunder, Luguentz Dort and Ryan Nembhard via a three-team trade, and the draft rights to Henri Veesaar and Devin Carter.

In terms of rookie contracts, Kingston Flemings and Zuby Ejiofor have signed rookie scale deals. Meanwhile, the Utah Jazz are identified as a team poised for improvement in the upcoming season. Following the acquisition of Jaren Jackson Jr. at the previous trade deadline, the Jazz are expected to integrate him into a frontcourt pairing with their existing roster. The team also looks to the development of third-year point guard Keyonte George and the addition of No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson.
