"As we explored opportunities to add to our team after the trade deadline, we felt is was important to prioritize experience and versatility," Hawks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "Kris is a versatile veteran with playoff experience who fits well with our group and within our system. We are fortunate to have Kris join our team and would like to welcome him to the Hawks family."

Humphries, 31, had been with the Suns for 10 days and played in four games after he was traded from the Wizards for Markieff Morris. Phoenix also acquired DeJuan Blair and a first-round pick in the Feb. 18 deadline deal.

In 32 games between Washington and Phoenix this season, Humphries averaged 6.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 16.9 minutes.
