"Now that the trade deadline has passed, that means we get one final round of transactions league-wide, as tanking teams usually release veterans that were either on the team or just acquired at the trade deadline, in order to prioritize their youngsters. That was exactly the case for Georges Niang, who got traded and waived multiple times during and even before the 2025-26 NBA season."
"During the offseason, he was shipped to Boston in part of the Kristaps Porzingis deal along with a future second-round pick. Less than a month later, he was traded once again, this time to a familiar spot in Utah, where he spent the most time in his career with one team (four seasons). And finally, during this season's trade deadline, Niang was a part of the surprising Jaren Jackson Jr. trade as Kyle Anderson, Taylor Hendricks and Walter Clayton Jr."
"He was waived two days later after being acquired by the Grizzlies and was last seen on an NBA court on April 18, 2025, when the Atlanta Hawks lost to the Miami Heat 123-114 in the final Play-In game for the 8th seed of the 2025 season. He put up 35 points across 2 Play-In games. He surprisingly shot the three-ball terribly in the two games, going just 3 for 11 beyond the arc,"
Georges Niang was traded to the Atlanta Hawks at the 2025 trade deadline in exchange for Caris LeVert and appeared in 28 games for Atlanta. He was sent to Boston as part of the Kristaps Porzingis deal, then traded back to Utah, and later packaged in the Jaren Jackson Jr. trade to Memphis. The Grizzlies waived him two days after acquiring him. His final NBA appearance occurred on April 18, 2025, in Atlanta's 123-114 Play-In loss to Miami. He totaled 35 points across two Play-In games, shooting 3-for-11 from three and 13-for-26 overall across 49 minutes. Niang entered the league as the 50th pick in 2016.
