Veteran guard Trae Young is not expected to finalize a contract extension with the Atlanta Hawks soon. However, both Young and the team are open to negotiating a new deal next summer, when Young will become a free agent if he declines his $48.9 million player option for the 2026-27 season.
This upcoming season could serve as a stepping stone for Young to secure a new contract. The Hawks want to continue their collaboration with their star point guard but are eager to see a strong playoff performance first. With the recent additions of Kristaps Porzingis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, alongside the return to health of Jalen Johnson, Young feels confident about leading Atlanta deeper into the postseason.
Young led the NBA last season with 11.6 assists per game, in addition to 24.2 points and 1.2 steals.
