Hawks Sign Dejounte Murray To Extension

The Atlanta Hawks have secured their backcourt for the 2023-24 season, signing guard Dejounte Murray to a multi year contract.

The terms of the agreement were not disclosed by the team, who is hoping Murray can bring stability to the Hawks offense and help star guard Trae Young.

Murray averaged 20.5 points, 6.1 assists, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 74 games last season.

“Been Locked In From The Moment Y’all Accepted Me….. LOYALTY OVER EVERYTHING Let’s Gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!”

“DJ is someone we want to continue to build with. He’s a dynamic talent with the heart of a leader. He leads by example, is an unselfish teammate, and truly cares about winning,” said Hawks General Manager Landry Fields.

The deal comes 13 months after the San Antonio Spurs traded Murray, then an All Star, to the Hawks for forward Danilo Gallinari and a trio of first-round picks.

The original trade was as follows:

Hawks received:

• Dejounte Murray
• Jock Landale

Spurs received: 

• Danilo Gallinari
• 2023 first-round pick (via Charlotte from New York, protected)
• 2025 first-round pick
• 2026 pick swap
• 2027 first-round pick

The Spurs used the picks in part to draft Victor Wembanyama with the No. 1.
