Hawks retain Dejounte Murray after the trade deadline

The Atlanta Hawks have made the decision not to trade Dejounte Murray at the deadline. Although Murray was actively on the market leading up to the deadline, the Hawks did not receive an offer that met their preferences. They plan to reassess the situation in the offseason.

Murray, who is having a standout season with averages of 21.5 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 35.0 minutes per game across 49 games, signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the Hawks in the 2023 offseason.

The extension officially begins in the 2024-25 season, and Murray has the option to become a free agent in 2027.
