Hill (hamstring) was waived by the Knicks on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hill was a throw-in in last week's trade that also sent Cam Reddish to New York, but the former had already been ruled out for the season after undergoing surgery on his right hamstring in early December. Since Hill was set to hit free agency this offseason, the Knicks had no incentive in having him occupying a roster spot.

Hill (hamstring), along with Cam Reddish and a 2025 second-round pick, was traded from the Hawks to the Knicks on Thursday in exchange for a protected 2022 first-round pick and Kevin Knox, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill may never suit up for the Knicks, as he's out for the season and is a free agent this summer. Reddish is set to potentially see a bigger role on the Knicks, and Knox will presumably still be irrelevant in fantasy.

The Hawks announced Wednesday that Hill suffered a right hamstring tear in Sunday's 130-127 loss to the Hornets that will require season-ending surgery.

EDGE Analysis

Hill will finish the 2021-22 campaign with averages of 0.6 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.7 minutes per game across 13 appearances. The veteran forward wasn't a major contributor for the Hawks, but his absence will further test Atlanta's depth with Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) and De'Andre Hunter (wrist) both expected to remain out for multiple weeks.

Hawks general manager Travis Schlenk said Tuesday that Hill will be out "quite a while" after the forward tore his right hamstring "off the bone" in Sunday's 130-127 loss to the Hornets, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill sat out Monday's 121-110 win over the Timberwolves due to the injury, but the extent of the 30-year-old's hamstring issue wasn't known until Schlenk provided an update on the results of an MRI. While Hill is without an official timeline for a return, Schlenk's description of the injury suggests Hill will likely be sidelined for several weeks. Hill had filled a minor role in the Hawks' rotation over the team's last six games before he suffered the injury, averaging 8.7 minutes per contest.

Hill (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Timberwolves, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Hill will not be available Monday after he departed Sunday afternoon's game with a right hamstring injury. It's unclear how much time Hill could miss, but he should benefit from the Hawks having three full days off before Friday's contest against Brooklyn.

Hill exited Sunday's game against the Hornets with a right hamstring injury and will not return.

EDGE Analysis

Hill exited the game late in the first quarter after seeing just four minutes of action off the bench. He should be considered day-to-day until further notice, but there's a good chance the veteran will be held out of Monday's game at Minnesota on the second half of the back-to-back.

Hill will start Tuesday's matchup against the Jazz, Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

With De'Andre Hunter (wrist) sidelined, Hill will get his first start of the season. He's been out of the rotation for most of the season, so he could just be getting a faux start where he sees fewer minutes than multiple reserves like Cam Reddish and Danilo Gallinari.

Hill will not participate in Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Cavaliers, Brad Rowland of PeachtreeHoops.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill played 14 minutes in the preseason opener, and the veteran will get Wednesday's game off for rest. The Hawks next play Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Hill agreed Monday to a one-year contract with the Hawks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hill is returning to the Hawks after playing a consistent role at forward last season. In 21.3 minutes per game, he averaged 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists. However, if the Hawks stay healthier than they did in 2020-21, Hill's role will likely take a slight dip. Either way, he won't be relevant in fantasy.

Hill scored four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) to go with three rebounds and two assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 116-113 win over the Bucks.

EDGE Analysis

After rarely seeing the floor for Atlanta throughout the postseason, Hill found himself back in the rotation and even playing crunch-time minutes late. Most of the reasoning behind the jolt in playing time could be due to the forward's size and defensive presence which helps Atlanta defend Bucks' star Giannis Antetokounmpo. While the 29-year-old veteran is not one to score regularly or fill up the box score, he could continue to see decent minutes this series which makes him a viable value play in DFS formats.
