The Hawks are set to sign two-way forward Dominick Barlow to a two-year standard contract, agent Todd Ramasar of Life Sports Agency has informed ESPN’s Shams Charania (via Twitter). Barlow is currently on a two-way deal.
Atlanta currently has no room on its standard roster for Barlow, having just inked swingman Kevon Harris to a 10-day contract on Saturday. The team will either have to terminate Harris’ deal early or waive another player to make room for Barlow.
A 6’9″ combo forward, Barlow skipped college, having played instead for Overtime Elite’s Team Overtime in 2021/22.
Barlow, 21, spent his first two NBA seasons with the Spurs. He was on a two-way contract as a rookie and opened the 2023/24 campaign on a two-way deal before seeing that agreement converted to a standard contract at the end of that season.
Barlow has played sparingly for the Hawks at the NBA level so far this season, seeing action in 18 games (two starts). Across just 7.8 minutes per night, he’s averaging 2.9 points and 1.6 boards.
Barlow has, however, made a bigger splash with Atlanta’s G League affiliate, the College Park Skyhawks, in 2024/25.
In 13 Tip-Off Tournament games for the Skyhawks, Barlow averaged 19.3 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.5 blocks and 0.6 steals per contest. Across four regular season bouts with College Park, he had been averaging 20.8 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.5 APG, 0.8 BPG and 0.8 SPG.
