  • Johnny Hamilton: Totals seven points off bench

    Hamilton logged seven points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, a steal and a block in 15 minutes during Thursday's G League win over Raptors 905.

    Hamilton was perfect from the floor in Thursday's victory, but he had limited shot volume and was held to just seven points. He's now logged double-digit minutes on the court in each of the last seven games but hasn't had many looks from the floor across that span.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Secures seven rebounds

    Hamilton tallied two points (1-3 FG), seven rebounds, an assist and a block in 13 minutes during Friday's G League loss to Westchester.

    Hamilton didn't have many looks from the floor while coming off the bench Friday, but he brought in a season-high seven rebounds in the narrow loss. He's now averaging 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 17.0 minutes per game this season.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Scores 16 off bench

    Hamilton produced 16 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block in 20 minutes during Sunday's G League loss to the Blue Coats.

    Hamilton had limited scoring production across his first three appearances of the season, but he saw plenty of looks from the floor Sunday and converted 75 percent of his field-goal attempts. He's now averaging 7.0 points and 2.8 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game in the G League.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Cut by Atlanta

    The Hawks waived Hamilton on Friday.

    Atlanta will retain Hamilton's G League rights, should he opt to stick around stateside rather than pursuing opportunities overseas. The seven-foot center has yet to appear at the NBA level since turning pro in 2018.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Returns after missing one game

    Hamilton (illness) played 21 minutes in Monday's contest against the Herd. The center finished with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal.

    Hamilton wound up missing his first game of the season Friday, but returned to the court in short order. With Jon Horford (ankle) limited again by another injury, Hamilton has been forced to take on an additional role in the front court, even with Adam Woodbury excelling at the starting center spot.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Does not play Friday

    Hamilton (illness) did not play in Friday's win over Stockton.

    This was only the second missing game by Hamilton this season, as the center has been a critical rotational piece for Grand Rapids this season. He's averaging 11.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.6 blocks and 1.4 assists across 24.9 minutes per contest.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Despite limited minutes, still earns double-double

    Hamilton scored 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-2 FT) and secured 12 rebounds along with five blocked shots in the loss Tuesday to the Blue Coats.

    Hamilton actually ceded the starting opportunity to Jon Horford, who was playing in only his second game since injuring his back earlier in January, but Hamilton still wound up playing four more minutes than his starting teammate. The defensive exploits of Hamilton will likely guarantee him at least 20 minutes a night, but so long as the Drive seem content to figure out what they have in Horford, the former two-way big man might struggle to see additional opportunities regardless of his success.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Game postponed

    Thursday's road game versus the Maine Red Claws was postponed due to a water leak in the roof of the Portland Expo.

    A make-up date has yet to be determined. Hamilton is averaging 15.0 points, 9.4 rebounds and 1.9 assists through six games in January.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Tallies double-double in loss

    Hamilton tallied 21 points (8-13 FG, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one blocked shot in the 116-88 loss to Long Island on Wednesday.

    Hamilton was about the only starter able to put together a productive stat line, as the depleted Drive roster was utterly flummoxed by Long Island. Hamilton continues to be one of the more reliable centers in the G League, averaging 13.1 points and 9.6 rebounds in 25 games this season, both numbers that have seen a substantial jump in the last month.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Finishes with another double-double

    Hamilton scored 23 points (10-12 FG, 3-4 FT) to go along with 13 rebounds and four blocked shots in the loss Monday to the Mad Ants.

    Hamilton has seen his minutes tick upwards in recent games thanks to injuries to Jon Horford (shoulder) and Jovan Mooring (wrist). Through 14 games, the 24-year-old is averaging 10.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.8 blocks, but all three of those numbers have jumped by at least a point or more in the last two weeks.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Strong performance in win

    Hamilton finished the win Wednesday over the Herd with 21 points, 13 rebounds, six blocked shots and four assists.

    Hamilton was easily the team's biggest star during the win, leading the Drive in scoring, rebounding and blocks despite coming off the bench. Jon Horford got the start at center, but given the 27-year-old only played 19 minutes, Hamilton projects as the big man to own in nearly all fantasy formats.

  • Johnny Hamilton: Let go by Detroit

    Hamilton was waived by the Pistons on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    Hamilton couldn't impress the organization enough to earn a spot on the final roster. He'll likely look to take his talents to the G-League or overseas.
