Kristaps Porzingis and Boban Marjanovic now stand alone as the tallest players in the NBA.
The other 7-foot-3 player is now out of the league.
The Hawks waived Walter Tavares to sign Ryan Kelly with Mike Scott injured.
Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports:
The Atlanta Hawks have released center Edy Tavares and plan to sign forward Ryan Kelly, league sources tell The Vertical.

Hawks release:
Atlanta Hawks forward Mike Scott will miss approximately four weeks while undergoing a series of non-surgical procedures for his left knee soreness.
This indicates Tiago Splitter is on track to return from his injury before Scott from his.
Kelly, a stretch four, attended training camp with the Hawks. He got cut, but there could be a role for him with Scott now hurt.
Tavares is an interior-oriented center who already somewhat duplicates Dwight Howard and would become even more superfluous when Splitter returns.
