Saleh took over as general manager last offseason after joining the organization in 2024 following previous front-office roles with the Warriors and Spurs.
The Hawks executive quickly gained league-wide respect for his work in Atlanta and finished as the runner-up for the NBA’s 2026 Executive of the Year award.
