The Hawks transferred Ploweden from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday. Plowden recorded 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block in 22 minutes during Thursday's 123-122 overtime G League loss to the Maine Celtics. However, Plowden will now get an opportunity to crack the Hawks' NBA rotation during Saturday's matchup with Boston.
Plowden closed Wednesday's 110-94 victory over the Bulls with 19 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt) and four rebounds over 25 minutes. Plowden played in an NBA game for the first time in his career, providing the Hawks with a much-needed scoring punch off the bench. He took advantage of the fact Atlanta was short-handed, something that may not last too long. While it is fantastic to see players like Plowden making a name for themselves on the biggest stage of all, it is unlikely to repeat itself any time soon.
Atlanta recalled Plowden from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Plowden, who is on a two-way contract with Atlanta, could see his first taste of NBA action Wednesday against the Bulls -- Atlanta will have just 10 players available due to numerous injuries.
Plowden and the Hawks agreed to a two-way contract Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Plowden went undrafted in 2022 out of Bowling Green and will now join an NBA regular-season roster for the first time in his career. Before signing the two-way deal, Plowden had been playing for the Hawks' G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks. He averaged 14.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.5 three-pointers and 1.1 steals in 27.8 minutes per game while shooting 38.5 percent from deep over 14 appearances for College Park.
The Hawks waived Plowden on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. Plowden latched on with the club for training camp on a non-guaranteed deal. However, after being waived the 26-year-old is expected to join Atlanta's G League affiliate -- the College Park Skyhawks -- for the 2024-25 campaign.
Plowden signed a contract with the Hawks on Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports. Plowden was waived by the Warriors earlier this month, but he only needed a few days to find a new team. Plowden was previously on a two-way contract with the Warriors and turned heads with his play in the 2024 Summer League, averaging 14.6 points per game and shooting 39.6 percent from three-point range across eight contests. Plowden will likely open the season with the College Park Skyhawks of the G League.
The Warriors waived Plowden on Tuesday. Plowden had previously agreed to a two-way deal with the Warriors but will now start the 2024-25 campaign as a free agent. It wouldn't be surprising for the 25-year-old forward to find his way onto a G League roster.
Plowden and the Warriors agreed to a two-way contract Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports. Plowden has been a standout during the Summer League, averaging 16.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.2 blocks and 2.6 three-pointers across five appearances. He's likely to be a featured player in the G League for Santa Cruz this season.
Plowden (leg) recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Sunday's 92-68 win over the Lakers in the California Classic Summer League. Plowden suffered a right leg injury during Saturday's Summer League win over Miami, but he was back in action a day later. He's played a prominent role for Golden State this summer and should continue to get opportunities to contribute.
