Free-agent Kris Humphries has committed to sign with the Atlanta Hawks once he clears waivers, a source told Yahoo Sports.
The Phoenix Suns waived Humphries, 31, on Sunday. The Suns acquired the 6-foot-9, 235-pounder from the Washington Wizards in a trade on Feb. 18. The 12-year NBA veteran cannot sign with the Hawks until he clears waivers on Tuesday, which he is expected to do. He plans to sign a minimum deal for the rest of the season.
Humphries averaged 6.4 points and 4.1 rebounds in 16.3 minutes per game while shooting 34.3 percent from 3-point range for the Wizards in 28 games this season. He played four games with the Suns, who now have an open roster spot.
Humphries will give Atlanta more depth behind All-Stars Paul Millsap and Al Horford.
The Hawks recently lost center Tiago Splitter for the rest of the season to hip surgery.
