Rockets Add Bradley, Waive Houstan
The Atlanta Hawks signed center Tony Bradley after Jock Landale suffered an ankle injury. The move adds size as the team prepares for the postseason.
Landale injury update
On April 2 the Hawks provided an injury update on Landale. He sustained an ankle injury late in the game at Orlando.
Medical imaging found a high right ankle sprain. The team will reassess him in about two weeks. A precise return date remains unknown.
Who is Tony Bradley?
Bradley joins Atlanta as a veteran big man. He has not yet appeared in a regular-season game for the Hawks.
- Spent part of last season with the College Park Skyhawks, appearing in 12 games.
- Later signed by the Indiana Pacers, a club that advanced to within one game of the title.
- Over the past two seasons with the Pacers, he played in 50 regular-season games and 11 postseason contests.
Role and expectations
Bradley is a physical reserve center. He is expected to provide rim protection and rebounding off the bench.
The Hawks view him as short-term depth while Landale recovers.
Roster move details
To open a roster spot, Atlanta released Caleb Houstan. Houstan was a little-used perimeter shooter this season.

What this means for the Hawks
