Ndiaye is a raw athlete with enticing upside. He moves really well for his size and has an impressive motor, but he needs to figure out what role he’s best suited for at the NBA level. He began 2025-26 on a two-way with the Hawks, but a torn labrum cost him his season before it began.

Rookie Eli John Ndiaye suffered a torn labrum in a G League game and will miss the rest of the season. As a result, Atlanta opted to release him from his two-way deal. With their newly opened slot, they picked up guard RayJ Dennis. This is marks the third team Dennis has been on this season— he played 14 games with the Pacers and Clippers, averaging 4.6 points. Congrats, RayJ!
