Atlanta Hawks four-time All-Star Trae Young and his agent, Aaron Mintz, are working with the franchise on a trade, sources told ESPN.
Young’s reps and Hawks general manager Onsi Saleh have started positive and collaborative talks over the last week on finding a resolution, sources said.
The Hawks and Young’s agents have maintained dialogue over his future over the last several months -- ever since the franchise elected not to offer a contract extension to the 27-year-old guard. Young has this and next season at $95 million total remaining on his deal, with a player option in the offseason.
Young has been out for five consecutive games, including Monday’s road game in Toronto, due to a right quad contusion. Young has also dealt with residual pain in the leg while returning from a right MCL sprain that sidelined him for seven weeks earlier in the season.
