The Atlanta Hawks announced Tuesday that reserve center N’Faly Dante will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season after tearing the ACL in his right knee.
The injury occurred on Dec. 19 while Dante was playing for the College Park Skyhawks against Texas during the NBA G League Winter Showcase in Orlando. The team said the 6-foot-11 second-year player is scheduled to undergo surgery in January.
Dante, 24, appeared in four NBA games for Atlanta this season, averaging 1.8 rebounds in 3.8 minutes per contest. The Hawks signed him as a restricted free agent in August.
Last season, the former Oregon standout logged four games with the Houston Rockets as a two-way player, producing averages of 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.
