Hawks request waivers on Ersan Ilyasova
ATLANTA -- The Hawks have taken another step in their youth movement by requesting waivers on veteran forward Ersan Ilyasova.
The move clears more playing time for rookie John Collins.
Ilyasova, who started in 40 of the 46 games he played for the Hawks this season, will become a free agent if he clears waivers as expected. Ilyasova's contract, which was bought out by the team, was set to expire at the end of the season.
Ilyasova, 30, averaged 10.9 points and 5.5 rebounds per game this season.
