Kyle Korver leaves Atlanta Hawks

Kyle Korver initially joined the Atlanta Hawks as the team's director of player affairs and development in 2022. A year later, he was named their newest assistant general manager.

Before going to Atlanta, he had a brief coaching tenure with the Brooklyn Nets in 2021-22 as their shooting coach.

A 17-year NBA veteran who played with six different teams, Korver had the best years of his career with the Hawks. He became a first-time All-Star for Atlanta in 2014-15, averaging 12.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while shooting a red-hot 49.2% from the outside to help the franchise's 60-win season.

He retired right after the 2019-20 season, capping off his tenure as a member of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Onsi Saleh signed a contract extension and has emerged as the newest team president of the Hawks this offseason after maneuvering the team's sensational 2025-26 season as general manager, highlighted by the Trae Young trade deal with the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum.

The Hawks have landed Lu Dort, Aaron Wiggins, and Devin Carter this offseason. The franchise also added ESPN senior writer Tim Bontemps as strategic adviser.
