Atlanta Hawks reportedly sign talented G League player

Wallace played college basketball for Texas-San Antonio and went undrafted after the 2021 season.

He spent the first three years of his professional career in the G League.

They lost to the Chicago Bulls in the playoff tournament, missing out on the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2020 season.
