With Devin Carter waived and Ryan Nembhard sent away in the DFS trade, it is looking more and more like the path is clea Via @KLChouinard on X

What happened: Devin Carter was waived and Ryan Nembhard was sent to Charlotte in the Finney-Smith deal. Flemings signed with Atlanta in July ahead of 2026-27 camp.

Why it matters: Atlanta created a $2.1M trade exception in the deal, preserving flexibility to shape the back end of the roster. An open guard slot gives Flemings a cleaner window to earn rotation minutes in camp.

What to watch: Watch Atlanta's final camp cuts and preseason guard rotations for confirmation.
