This is the second and final 10 day contract that Wilkins can be signed to. At the end of this contract the Hawks either must cut him loose or sign him for the remainder of the season. In listening to Larry Drew, I think that he would like to keep Damien for the remainder of the season. That decision however may hinge on the health of Marvin Williams.
