Humphries has cleared waivers and will sign with the Hawks, RealGM reports.

Analysis:

Humphries was sent to the Suns in the Markieff Morris deal prior to the trade deadline, and it looks as though keeping him around was never in the lottery-bound Suns' plans. After four games with the Suns, the 31-year-old was let go and quickly agreed to join the Hawks, where he figures to join a group of frontcourt reserves that includes Mike Scott and Mike Muscala. Humphries has dealt with nagging knee and ankle issues this season, limiting him to only 32 total games between the Wizards and Suns, but he proved in 64 games last season when he averaged eight points and 6.5 rebounds that he's still a serviceable big man off the bench. According to ESPN.com's Brian Windhorst, Humphries will likely be available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, though with no practice time with his new team, it seems unlikely he'd see the court if active.
