Landale, Hukporti sign new NBA deals

A pair of former Melbourne United big-men have signed new NBA deals across the first 48 hours of Free Agency.

Landale inked a new one-year contract with the Atlanta Hawks after posting career-best numbers last season.

This included a 26-point, 11-rebound, four-block showcase in his first game with the team following a trade from Utah.

Also remaining in the Eastern Conference is Ariel Hukporti, who agreed to a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers.

This brings an end to his two years with the New York Knicks after helping the team claim their first NBA title in 53 years.
