Forrest accumulated six points (3-5 FG, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 loss to the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest saw an uptick in playing time for the shorthanded Hawks on Wednesday and posted a relatively well-rounded stat line. Despite his decent performance against Charlotte, Forrest will likely see minimal playing time once Dejounte Murray (quadriceps) is able to return.

Forrest notched two points (1-2 FG), four rebounds and six assists over 22 minutes during Monday's 136-105 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest got a little more run than usual due to the lopsided nature of the score, as his 22 minutes were his most of the campaign. The fourth-year guard wasn't aggressive as a shooter but did manage to finish second on the team with six assists. Forrest's opportunities have increased a bit since Trae Young went down with a finger injury in late February, but the former's production hasn't come closer to warranting fantasy attention.

Forrest registered two points (1-2 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes during Friday's 99-92 win over the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest continues to play limited minutes off the bench, tallying two points in eight minutes. Despite injuries to a couple of key backcourt pieces, Forrest doesn't appear to be a priority for the coaching staff. At this point, he is not someone to consider, even in deeper leagues.

The Hawks officially converted Forrest to a standard NBA contract Thursday, making him available for Thursday's game versus the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest had previously reached the maximum threshold of NBA appearances for a two-way player but can now suit up for Atlanta for the rest of 2023-24. Forrest will likely continue to serve as a depth option in the Hawks' backcourt.

The Hawks plan to convert Forrest from a two-way contract to a standard NBA contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest had been in the midst of his second season on a two-way deal with the Hawks, but after having already been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level this season, he wasn't eligible to suit up for Atlanta on his current contract. By upgrading Forrest to a standard contract, he'll be eligible to play again, but it's unclear if the transaction will be made official prior to Thursday's game in Brooklyn. Atlanta is set to waive Patty Mills to open up a spot on the 15-man roster for Forrest, who is averaging 2.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per game over 20 appearances for Hawks this season.

Forrest is ineligible to play in Friday's game against the Raptors, as he's already been active for the maximum 50 games at the NBA level that he's allotted this season as one of the Hawks' two-way players, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest is still able to play in games for the G League's College Park Skyhawks if the Hawks choose to assign him to the affiliate, but he won't be able to suit up for the NBA club unless Atlanta upgrades him from his two-way deal. The 25-year-old hasn't been a regular factor in the rotation this season, appearing in 20 of the 50 games in which he's been active while averaging 2.0 points, 2.1 assists and 1.3 rebounds in 10.5 minutes per contest.

Forrest amassed four assists over eight minutes during Friday's 127-121 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest moved back into the rotation, failing to score in eight minutes of playing time. Prior to Friday, he had played only once in the past two weeks. The Hawks were without Dejounte Murray due to a back injury, opening up a spot for Forrest. Given he has struggled to be an every-night part of the rotation, managers can safely avoid him in all formats.

Forrest totaled four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 13 minutes during Saturday's 127-99 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest played at least 13 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games, yet failed to do anything of note when he was on the floor. The Hawks were embarrassed by the Wizards, affording some additional minutes to their fringe options. Although he has been a consistent part of the rotation over the past two weeks, Forrest holds no sustainable fantasy value.

Forrest played the final four minutes of Tuesday's 128-105 loss to the Cavaliers and missed his only field-goal attempt.
EDGE Analysis
While Forrest remains on a two-way contract, his availability on the court is very restricted. Unless the Hawks call him up permanently from the G League, he will continue to make random appearances in a limited fashion.

Forrest tallied 13 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three assists, two rebounds and two steals over 14 minutes in Tuesday's 108-107 win over the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Forrest hit the game-tying layup while fouled by Emoni Bates and hit the subsequent free throw to give the Hawks the one-point win. He signed a two-way deal with Atlanta on Sept. 12 after playing 23 NBA games with the team last season when he averaged 2.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12.0 minutes per game. He'll look to carve out a larger role for himself during the preseason and will have his next chance Thursday against the Grizzlies.
