The Atlanta Hawks announced Thursday they have upgraded forward Caleb Houstan from a two-way agreement to a standard NBA contract. The team did not reveal financial details of the new deal.
The 23-year-old forward has appeared in 10 contests for Atlanta during the current season, contributing 2.3 points per game while averaging 4.9 minutes off the bench.
Originally drafted by Orlando in the second round as the 32nd overall pick in 2022 following his college career at Michigan, Houstan spent his initial three NBA seasons with the Magic. During his time in Orlando from 2022-25, he compiled averages of 4.1 points, 1.5 rebounds and 14.4 minutes across 168 appearances, including 23 starts.
The Hawks initially signed Houstan to a two-way deal on October 18, 2025. While splitting time between the NBA and G League, he has been productive with the College Park Skyhawks, Atlanta’s developmental affiliate, posting 15.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 32.9 minutes per game over 30 contests as a starter.
Houstan made Hawks history on December 3, becoming the franchise’s first player to compete in both NBA and G League games on the same date, suiting up for a daytime contest with the Skyhawks before playing that evening for Atlanta.
