Cunningham sent out a somewhat cryptic Tweet late Sunday night that we picked up. The team has still not announced any move in regards to Cunningham.

Cunningham is out of the rotation at guard for the Hawks and could find some much needed playing time in the D-League. The Jam don't begin playing until November 22 so the timing is a bit odd.

Cunningham played 15 games in the D-League last season with the Texas Legends. He finished with averages of 15.3 points and 3.0 assists in over 34 minutes of action.

UPDATE - The Hawks have confirmed the move via official press release
