Following an impressive showing in the D-League with the Reno Bighorns,
Patterson, who played 35 games for the Hawks as a rookie in 2015-16, re-signed
with the team on a 10-day deal back on Jan. 29. He ended up appearing in three
games during his stint with the club, and though he averaged just 2.0 points and
1.3 rebounds in 6.7 minutes per contest, he apparently showed the Hawks enough
to warrant another 10-day pact. The new contract will keep him with the Hawks
until Feb. 17 before the team would have to decide whether to sign him for the
rest of the season or drop him from the 15-man roster.
