Atlanta Hawks star point guard Trae Young became eligible to sign an extension at the beginning of the summer, yet one hasn't happened. It doesn't seem like one will happen before the season starts, either. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported on Monday that there are no plans for the Hawks and Young to engage in extension discussions this summer (subscription required).
The deadline for Young and Atlanta to agree to an extension isn't before the season, as he has until next July to sign one. If the Hawks let it get that far (and that appears to be the case), he could decline his $49 million player option for the 2026-27 season to test free agency.
