Overview
- Multiple outlets report Trae Young will not sign an extension before the 2025-26 opener, though he remains eligible to agree to one during the season.
- Young enters the final guaranteed year of his five-year deal at $46 million with a $49 million player option for 2026-27.
- Kristaps Porziņģis and the Hawks share interest in an extension, but he prefers to assess health and fit first and can negotiate any time before June 30, 2026.
- Atlanta overhauled the roster around Young this offseason by trading for Porziņģis and adding Luke Kennard and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
- Dyson Daniels faces a Monday, Oct. 20 rookie-extension deadline that would shift him to restricted free agency next summer if no agreement is reached.
