The Atlanta Hawks are signing center Tony Bradley for the rest of the season after Jock Landale suffered a high right ankle sprain.
The Atlanta Hawks waived small forward Caleb Houstan on Sunday and will sign center Tony Bradley for the rest of the season, per ESPN's Shams Charania. Because Bradley has been out of the league long enough, he will be playoff-eligible.
The signing comes two days after backup center Jock Landale suffered a high right ankle sprain in the second half of Atlanta's blowout win over Orlando.
The Hawks played without Landale Saturday against Brooklyn, sliding third-year forward Mouhamed Gueye into the backup center role as a short-term stopgap. Bradley gives Atlanta a more natural fit at the position with nine games remaining.
Bradley, 28, is no stranger to either the organization or head coach Quin Snyder, who coached him during his time in Utah. He joined Atlanta's G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks, last season as an affiliate player after being waived by the Hawks, averaging 14.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks across 24 Showcase Cup and regular season games. He then signed a 10-day contract with Indiana and went on to appear for the Pacers in the NBA Finals.
Back with College Park this season, Bradley has put up some of the best numbers in the G League. On the year, he is putting up 16.8 points and 12.1 rebounds per game, and his 70.6% field goal percentage ranks second in the league. The double-doubles have piled up, too — six straight from February 6 through February 24, giving him nine in his last 11 outings.
Against Windy City in College Park's regular season home opener Dec. 30, Bradley dropped 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting to go with 16 rebounds and four blocks, a line no Skyhawk had ever produced in a single game.
The Bartow, Florida, native was originally drafted 28th overall by the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the 2017 NBA Draft before being traded to Utah. In his third season with the Jazz, Bradley appeared in 58 regular season games and six playoff contests, averaging 4.9 points and 4.6 rebounds in 11.4 minutes. After leaving Utah, he made stops in Philadelphia, Oklahoma City, and Chicago before joining the College Park organization.
Atlanta will be the sixth NBA franchise of Bradley's career and his eighth season in the league. He started 2025-26 on a standard contract with Indiana worth $2.9 million before being waived on Jan. 5, three days before his salary became fully guaranteed. The Pacers re-signed him to a 10-day deal Jan. 8 and issued a second 10-day contract Jan. 19 before his stint with Indiana concluded.
Houstan, 23, saw limited action during his time with Atlanta, averaging 4.2 minutes per game across 18 appearances. He signed an Exhibit 10 contract with the Hawks in August, converted to a two-way deal during the preseason, and was promoted to a standard contract on Feb. 19.
Because that deal was fully guaranteed at the time of his release, he will receive his salary for the final nine days of the regular season and will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. Orlando originally selected him 32nd overall in the 2022 NBA Draft, and he appeared in 168 games across three seasons with the Magic.
Bradley's first opportunity to play for Atlanta comes Monday against the New York Knicks.
