Rotowire

With College Park missing out on the G League playoffs, Plowden will join the Hawks in the NBA to provide some depth to the roster.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Doesn't suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Plowden didn't play in Sunday's 126-108 G League loss to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers due to a right elbow strain.
The right elbow strain is a new injury for Plowden, and his next chance to suit up will come in the parent club's game against Memphis on Monday. The swingman has received the majority of his playing time in the G League, appearing in only two outings with the Hawks since signing a two-way contract with the club in December.

Hawks' Daeqwon Plowden: Returns to parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Plowden from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
Plowden is back with the parent club after playing three games in the last three days. After logging 36 minutes for College Park in Tuesday's 112-108 win over the Cleveland Charge, Plowden joined Atlanta for Wednesday's 110-94 win over the Bulls and made his NBA debut, recording 19 points in 25 minutes off the bench. Plowden then played 22 minutes for College Park in Thursday's 123-122 overtime loss to the Maine Celtics. Though he's rejoining Atlanta for Saturday's game in Boston, Plowden may not be included in the rotation if the banged-up Hawks are able to get one or more of De'Andre Hunter (foot), Jalen Johnson (shoulder) and Zaccharie Risacher (adductor) back in action.

Rotowire

As a two-way player, Plowden will be eligible to make his NBA debut for the Warriors during the upcoming campaign, but the 25-year-old wing is still likely to see the majority of his playing time in the G League with the Santa Cruz Warriors.

Daeqwon Plowden: Hits waiver wire
Rotowire
Plowden was waived by the Magic on Saturday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.
Plowden shouldered a nice chunk of playing time during Orlando's last preseason game against Flamengo, but he was unable to do much with the opportunity (three points, two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes).

Rotowire
Plowden had 18 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Santa Cruz.
Plowden was one of seven Birmingham players to score in double digits in this game, but he also ended just one rebound shy of a double-double, so this was a strong performance for him. In fact, the 18-point outing was his second-best mark of the season, and the nine boards tied his season-best output in that category.

Rotowire
Plowden recorded nine points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to Mexico City.
Plowden is settled as a contributor off the bench, and while he is not expected to post eye-popping numbers on a regular basis, it's worth noting that he was extremely efficient in this game and tends to post decent numbers even when he doesn't receive a lot of playing time. He's averaging 9.9 points and 3.5 rebounds per contest.

Rotowire
