Rotowire
The Hawks transferred Toppin (calf) from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.
The two-way forward will rejoin the parent club ahead of Tuesday's game against Portland, though his status is unclear, as he's seemingly still dealing with a right calf strain that he sustained in the G League. Toppin has received little playing time at the NBA level, though he finished the 2024-25 G League campaign with averages of 22.4 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.1 three-pointers in 36.6 minutes per contest over 23 games between the Skyhawks and Westchester Knicks.

Hawks' Jacob Toppin: Sits Saturday with elbow swelling
Rotowire
Toppin was inactive Saturday in the Hawks' 124-115 win over the Warriors due to left elbow inflammation.
The two-way player was previously held out of G League College Park Skyhawks' 130-125 overtime win over the Westchester Knicks on Friday due to the injury. Toppin has since rejoined the Hawks, but it's unclear if he'll be able for either end of the team's back-to-back set. The Hawks will host the 76ers on Sunday, but even if Toppin is available for that contest, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation.

Hawks' Jacob Toppin: Receives two-way deal
Rotowire
The Hawks will sign Toppin to a two-way deal Tuesday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
After being cut by the Knicks on Sunday, Toppin will find a home with a new organization on another two-way deal. The 24-year-old forward began the season under a two-way pact with New York, but he struggled to see playing time at the NBA level, averaging 3.1 minutes per game over 16 appearances. His playing-time outlook won't dramatically improve in Atlanta, so Toppin could end up seeing most of his opportunities in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks.

Jacob Toppin: Waived by New York
Rotowire
The Knicks waived Toppin on Sunday.
Re-signed by New York to a two-way contract in August, Toppin appeared in just 16 games for the parent club, averaging just 3.1 minutes per contest. Because he had been active for the maximum 50 games allotted to two-way players, Toppin was no longer eligible to suit up in NBA games for the rest of the season. The Knicks will presumably look to bring in another two-way player who has the flexibility to contribute at both the NBA and G League levels.

Knicks' Jacob Toppin: Rare appearance in win
Rotowire
Toppin racked up one rebound and two assists across two minutes during Monday's 126-106 win over the Wizards.
Toppin saw court time for just the ninth time this season, logging two minutes during garbage time. To this point, all of his playing time has come in the final moments of games, indicating he is buried on the depth chart, to the point where he is spending more time cheering on his teammates than actually playing.
Toppin (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.
Toppin missed back-to-back games to end the preseason schedule but will be available for the regular-season opener. With Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) sidelined to start the campaign, Toppin could carve out a decent reserve role behind Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby in New York's already depleted frontcourt.
