Report: Trae Young agrees to maximum contract extension with Atlanta Hawks

Following their surprise run to the Eastern Conference finals this past season, Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks agreed to a maximum rookie contract extension, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Young seemingly confirmed the extension via a Twitter post.

As currently constructed, Young's extension is worth $168 million over five years. That could climb just north of $200 million if he makes one of the three All-NBA teams this coming season. The No. 5 overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft, Young is also owed $8.3 million next season in the final year of his rookie deal.
