Starting 🖐️ for our finale in SLC: RayJ Dennis Issac McKneely Devon Higgs Jacob Toppin Henri Veesaar

What happened: The Atlanta Hawks will start RayJ Dennis, Issac McKneely, Devon Higgs, Jacob Toppin, and Henri Veesaar in their Salt Lake City Summer League finale on Tuesday. The team opted to rest recent draft picks Kingston Flemings, Asa Newell, and Zuby Ejiofor for the contest.

Why it matters: The rotation shift provides an extended evaluation opportunity for depth pieces competing for two-way contracts. Holding out the primary prospects also prioritizes their health ahead of the Las Vegas Summer League schedule.

What to watch: The coaching staff will finalize the roster's transition to Nevada following the conclusion of Tuesday's game.
