RayJ Dennis News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Back from G League The Hawks recalled Dennis from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.

Impact Though Dennis will rejoin Atlanta ahead of Monday's game against the Bucks, he'll be inactive for the contest in a coach's decision. The two-way player has made just one five-minute appearance for the parent club since signing with Atlanta on Dec. 31. He continues to remain highly involved at the G League level, however, and most recently played 39 minutes in College Park's 112-103 loss to the Maine Celtics on Sunday, finishing with 17 points (7-19 FG, 3-9 3Pt), 10 assists, six steals and five rebounds.

Heading to NBA Atlanta recalled Dennis from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday.

Nabs two-way deal with Atlanta Dennis agreed to a two-way contract with the Hawks on Wednesday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact The second-year point guard will move on to his third organization of the season after he had previously been signed to two-way deals with the Pacers and Clippers before being cut loose by both teams. Between the two stops, Dennis appeared in 14 games at the NBA level and averaged 4.6 points, 1.9 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in 12.3 minutes per contest while shooting 30.6 percent from the field. Atlanta waived Eli John Ndiaye (shoulder) to open up one of its three two-way slots for Dennis, who is likely to see the bulk of his playing time in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.

Waived by LAC The Clippers waived Dennis on Saturday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Joining Clippers on two-way deal The Clippers signed RayJ Dennis to a two-way contract Wednesday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Let go by Indiana The Pacers waived Dennis on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Dennis signed a two-year, two-way contract with the club in January but will now have to explore other opportunities. In a corresponding move, the Pacers have signed Ethan Thompson to a two-way pact. Dennis appeared in a career-high 13 NBA games this season, during which he averaged 4.9 points and 2.0 assists across 12.9 minutes per contest.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Reduced role continues Dennis accumulated zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across five minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to Denver.

Impact Dennis logged five minutes for the second straight game, continuing to see his role reduce as the Pacers start to get healthy players back into the rotation. Given he has now played fewer than 10 minutes in three consecutive contests, fantasy managers can safely move on in all formats.

NOVEMBER 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Dennis (back) will play in Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Dennis had previously been listed as probable, so his availability doesn't come as much of a surprise. With the Pacers severely shorthanded in the backcourt, Dennis could see sizeable run off the bench Wednesday night. Ben Sheppard will draw the start at point guard.

NOVEMBER 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Probable for Wednesday Dennis (back) is probable for Wednesday's game against Brooklyn.

Impact Dennis continues to deal with a back issue, though the problem isn't expected to prevent him from playing. Indiana has been forced to use Dennis more frequently due to a litany of injuries to the backcourt, with the guard averaging 8.2 points, 3.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.7 blocks in 22.7 minutes per contest over six games this season.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Monday Dennis (back) is available for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Dennis will shed a questionable tag and fight through a lower back sprain. With Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) out of action, Dennis has taken on a more important role in the Indiana backcourt. Dennis is averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game through his first five outings.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Monday Head coach Rick Carlisle said Dennis (back) is expected to play in Monday's game against the Bucks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Dennis is expected to shed his questionable tag due to a low back sprain and suit up against Milwaukee. The two-way player has appeared in five of Indiana's six regular-season games thus far, averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per game.

Pacers vs. Bucks injury report Nov. 3: Giannis Antetokounmpo, RayJ Dennis, and more The 1-5 Indiana Pacers will host Myles Turner and the 4-2 Milwaukee Bucks in a playoff rematch on Monday night at 7 p.m. ET.

NOVEMBER 3, 2025 • 8POINTS9SECONDS.COM

Questionable to face Milwaukee Dennis (back) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bucks.

Impact Dennis is in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest due to a low back sprain. The two-way player has seen significant minutes for the injury-riddled Pacers, averaging 9.2 points, 4.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 25.6 minutes per contest across five regular-season games. If he's ultimately ruled out, Ben Sheppard, Taelon Peter and Mac McClung are candidates for increased playing time.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Continues to surprise off bench Dennis supplied 17 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and five assists in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to Dallas.

Impact Despite the Pacers losing their fourth consecutive game to start the season and countless players to injury, Dennis has stepped up in a major way, scoring 10+ points and dishing at least five assists for the second consecutive game. While Ben Sheppard remains the team's starting point guard for now, it wouldn't be shocking if Dennis supplants him in the near future due to his production.

Steps up in big way Dennis notched 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals across 27 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact The Pacers have been absolutely devastated by injuries, with Obi Toppin (hamstring) and Bennedict Mathurin (toe) being the latest to join the injury report. Dennis is far from a proven contributor with 13 career regular-season games under his belt, but he caught the attention of prospective fantasy managers on Sunday and is worth monitoring closely as a result.

Efficient from downtown in win Dennis contributed 16 points (4-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and five assists across 19 minutes in Tuesday's 135-134 preseason win over the Timberwolves in overtime.

Impact Dennis torched the nets from beyond the arc and finished as Indiana's leading scorer, posting 14 of his 16 points in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the two-way player dished out a game-high-tying five assists. The 24-year-old point guard appeared in just 11 regular-season outings with the parent club last season. However, he could see increased playing time at the NBA level if injuries arise in the team's relatively thin backcourt, which is missing Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles).

Active for SL finale Dennis (rest) is in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's Summer League game against the Pelicans.

Impact Dennis sat out Thursday's game, the front end of the Pacers' back-to-back, but will return to action Friday for their Summer League finale. He appeared in 11 regular-season games last season, averaging 2.7 points, 1.3 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per contest.

JULY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Out of action Thursday Dennis (rest) is out for Thursday's Summer League game against the Knicks, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Dennis has started three contests for the Pacers in the Summer League, and the team has decided to give some of their other young players an extended look Thursday. Through three outings this summer, the two-way player has averaged 16.0 points, 6.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest.

Paces Indiana in SL loss Dennis racked up 20 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Monday's 114-105 Summer League loss to the Bulls.

Impact Dennis recorded team-high marks in points and steals, albeit in a losing effort. The 24-year-old two-way player spent the majority of his time in the G League last season, averaging 19.6 points, 7.6 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals across 35.5 minutes per game in 36 appearances between Noblesville and San Diego.

JULY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Impresses in SL win Dennis recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Thursday's 116-115 Summer League victory over Cleveland.

Impact Dennis made his presence felt on both ends of the court in a tightly-contested win. The Baylor product fell just one assist shy of a double-double and led the team in points, made threes and dimes. Dennis will continue to search for opportunities at the NBA level but will have his work cut out competing against the likes of T.J. McConnell, Quenton Jackson and Ben Sheppard.
