After 76 glorious minutes of meaningless basketball, Austin Daye's tenure with the Atlanta Hawks has drawn to a close.

Daye was waived by the Hawks on Thursday, the team announced.

The Hawks snagged Daye after he was waived by the San Antonio Spurs in January. He signed two 10-day deals before eventually signing for the remainder of the season.

Atlanta was Daye's fifth stop in his NBA career. Daye is an elite shooter, but his lack of size and drive ultimately undercut his viability as a functional rotation piece.

Waiving Daye culls the Hawks' roster to 13. Daye averaged 3.3 points and 1.8 rebounds in eight games with the Hawks last season.
