The Hawks and guard/forward Kevin Huerter have agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $65 million, agents Mark Bartelstein and Andy Shiffman told Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.
Per Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press, the contract is fully guaranteed.
Huerter, 23, is 6-foot-7 and was a key member of the Hawks’ run to the Eastern Conference finals last season, averaging 11.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 69 regular-season games. He did it all while shooting 38 percent on 3-pointers.
The Hawks are set for a long run together, with Huerter, guard Trae Young and power forward John Collins all signing contracts this offseason.
