Young has this season guaranteed and then a $48.9 million player option for 2026-27. Atlanta wants to wait to make a decision.

Luka Dončić landed a three-year, $165 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers this summer, while De'Aaron Fox inked a four-year, $229 million extension with the San Antonio Spurs.

There are no plans for Trae Young and the Atlanta Hawks to engage in extension talks, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.  Young is eligible for a four-year, $229 million extension.

Sources tell Fischer that Young is disappointed that the Hawks haven’t reached out to him about an extension. However, that could change if he pushes them back toward the playoffs. If it doesn’t happen, he may wind up as one of the top free agents in next year’s market.

Luka Doncic and De’Aaron Fox recently locked in max-salary contract extensions with their teams. Meanwhile, Hawks star Trae Young, who has been eligible for a similar deal since July, remains without an agreement as the new NBA season approaches.

Trae Young’s future with the Atlanta Hawks suddenly feels more uncertain than ever. According to recent reporting, the 26-year-old guard is disappointed with Atlanta’s silence on a possible contract extension.
