Kyle Korver Stepping Down as Hawks Assistant General Manager
According to Marc Stein, Atlanta Hawks assistant general manager Kyle Korver has decided to step away from the organization. Korver is leaving his role after spending four years in the front office. It doesn't sound like Korver is leaving for another job, instead stepping away from basketball to spend more time with his family. Korver played four and a half seasons with the Hawks from 2012 into the 2016 season. He earned his only All-Star selection during the 2014 season with the Hawks. He played with six different organizations, but will probably be most known for his time in Atlanta. Best of luck with whatever he decides to do next in life.

Hawks May Move Buddy Hield
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Buddy Hield could be used in offseason trade scenarios as the team works through a roster crunch, per Evan Sidery. Atlanta guaranteed Hield's $9.66 million salary for 2026-27, but that does not lock him into the rotation, especially after he played only seven regular-season games with the team following his deadline move from Golden State. The 33-year-old averaged 5.1 points in limited minutes with Atlanta, and the Hawks have more players than regular-season roster spots after a busy offseason. For fantasy, Hield has little value if he stays buried in Atlanta, but a trade to a team that needs shooting could put him back on the deep-league radar as a threes specialist.

Buddy Hield Reportedly Not Part of Hawks' Plans
Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Buddy Hield does not appear to be part of the team's plans moving forward, John Hollinger of The Athletic reports. The 10-year veteran has a $9 million contract for next season, but his future in Atlanta looks bleak. After arriving in February in a trade that saw Kristaps Porzingis move to Golden State, Hield appeared in only seven games, averaging 7.3 minutes. Parting ways looks like a good option for both sides. Although Hield had a disappointing 2025-26 campaign, averaging fewer than 10.0 points per game for the first time in his career, he's been a consistent three-point threat in the league and could still add value for teams.

Hawks Pick Up Jalen Wilson on Two-Way Contract
The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to a two-way contract with forward Jalen Wilson, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports. The former University of Kansas standout spent his first three pro years with the Brooklyn Nets, averaging 7.4 points and 2.9 rebounds in 20.2 minutes per game. Wilson showed promise at times in Brooklyn but never fully established himself with the team and wasn't brought back for a fourth year. Now in Atlanta, he gets a new opportunity, though he'll probably spend much of his time in the G League.

Ryan Nembhard Moves to Atlanta
Guard Ryan Nembhard was traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The deal also involved the Oklahoma City Thunder, who sent guard/forward Luguentz Dort to Atlanta. The Thunder received three second-round draft picks in the trade, while the Hawks shipped forward Zaccharie Risacher to the Mavericks. Nembhard is coming off a solid but unspectacular rookie campaign. He averaged 6.6 points and 5.3 assists in 19.5 minutes per game, starting 27 of his 60 outings. Nembhard will start life in Atlanta as CJ McCollum's backup and must also compete with Kingston Flemings and Devin Carter for playing time, making it a tough situation for him from a fantasy perspective.

Zaccharie Risacher Shipped to Dallas
Forward Zaccharie Risacher will suit up for the Dallas Mavericks next season, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The former No. 1 overall pick was traded on Sunday by the Atlanta Hawks in a three-team deal. Atlanta acquired guard Ryan Nembhard from Dallas and guard/forward Luguentz Dort from the Oklahoma City Thunder. While Risacher had a decent rookie campaign in 2024-25, his development stalled in his sophomore year, leading to the loss of his starting role. The situation in Dallas doesn't look particularly rosy for Risacher either. He will likely remain a reserve, competing for playing time with the likes of Naji Marshall and Santi Aldama at the forward positions.

Hawks Acquire Luguentz Dort in Three-Team Deal
The Atlanta Hawks have acquired guard/forward Luguentz Dort from the Oklahoma City Thunder, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The 2025 All-NBA Defensive First Team selection will move to the Eastern Conference in a three-team deal. As part of the transaction, the Hawks also added guard Ryan Nembhard from the Dallas Mavericks and sent forward Zaccharie Risacher to Texas. The move was a financial decision for the Thunder, who only recently picked up a $17.7 million team option on Dort's contract. As an elite defender, Dort will be a valuable contributor in the Hawks' rotation, but his fantasy value could take a hit if the Hawks use him off the bench behind Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker.

Isaac McKneely Exits Early with Shoulder Injury
Atlanta Hawks guard Isaac McKneely (shoulder) was forced to make an early exit during Thursday's Summer League contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. McKneely only played nine minutes before suffering a right shoulder injury that would knock him out for the rest of the night. The Hawks are going to play it extremely safe, given it's the Summer League right now. It doesn't sound like anything too serious, so he should be considered day-to-day. The Hawks brought in McKneely as an undrafted free agent out of Louisville. He was viewed as an elite three-point specialist in college, so we'll see if that translates to the professional level.

Mouhamed Gueye to be Sidelined 3-4 Months
Atlanta Hawks center Mouhamed Gueye (foot) will be sidelined for the next 3-4 months. Gueye recently sustained a fractured left foot during a workout. He underwent surgery on Tuesday and is set to be re-evaluated in 3-4 months. This timetable likely means that Gueye won't be ready for the beginning of next season. Zuby Ejiofor and Henri Veesaar figure to have larger roles with Gueye sidelined. The 23-year-old only averaged minutes in the teens last season, so his absence won't be a huge hit to the Hawks' rotation.

Henri Veesaar Hits Four Threes in Win Over Celtics
Atlanta Hawks center Henri Veesaar finished with 20 points, four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block, and four three-pointers in 23 minutes during Monday's 102-90 Summer League win over Boston. The No. 52 overall pick shot 7-for-12 from the field and 4-for-6 from deep, showing the stretch-five skill set that made him a second-round target for Atlanta. Veesaar averaged 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.2 blocks at North Carolina while shooting 42.6% from three. The shooting gives him a fantasy hook, but he still needs to turn Summer League flashes into a real frontcourt role.

Zuby Ejiofor Posts Five Stocks in Summer League Win
Atlanta Hawks forward Zuby Ejiofor registered 13 points, six rebounds, three blocks, two assists, and two steals in 27 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 Summer League win over Brooklyn. The No. 23 overall pick has already stacked up useful defensive production, following a 12-point, four-rebound, three-assist outing Thursday and a 19-point, 15-rebound effort Monday. Ejiofor averaged 16.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.1 blocks at St. John's last season, so the blocks, boards, and passing are not coming out of nowhere. His defensive activity is doing most of the fantasy heavy lifting, which could matter if Atlanta trusts him in a reserve role.

Kingston Flemings Flashes All-Around Game in Summer League Win
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings posted nine points, seven rebounds, five assists, and one block in 25 minutes during Saturday's 83-76 Summer League win over the Nets. The No. 8 overall pick struggled with his shot at 4-for-11, but the passing and rebounding are the better takeaways for fantasy managers looking beyond the scoring total. Flemings averaged 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals at Houston, so the multi-category profile is real. The playmaking flashes help his case, but his clearest fantasy path still runs through earning steady ball-handling chances.

Henri Veesaar Fills Stat Sheet in Hawks Summer League Win
Atlanta Hawks center Henri Veesaar recorded 11 points, five rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block across 24 minutes in Tuesday's 96-82 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The No. 52 pick shot 4-for-9 from the field and 2-for-5 from deep, showcasing the floor-spacing element that made him intriguing at North Carolina. While his versatile skill set gives him long-term appeal, he opens his rookie campaign buried on the depth chart. With Onyeka Okongwu, Jock Landale, Mouhamed Gueye, and fellow rookie Zuby Ejiofor all competing for frontcourt minutes, Veesaar lacks a clear path to playing time. He must carve out a definitive reserve role in training camp before managers can trust him for regular-season production.

Kingston Flemings Shows Two-Way Stat Mix in Hawks Win
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings finished Monday's 82-77 Salt Lake City Summer League win over the Oklahoma City Thunder with 12 points, five assists, three blocks, two rebounds, and one steal across 27 minutes. The No. 8 overall pick has opened Summer League with useful counting stats after posting 14 points, nine assists, and four steals in Saturday's overtime loss to Utah. Flemings is still finding his shot, but the assists, defensive production, and steady minutes are the more important fantasy signals. His path to early value depends on how quickly Atlanta trusts him as an on-ball guard.

Kingston Flemings Nearly has Double-Double in Hawks Summer-League Debut
Atlanta Hawks guard Kingston Flemings finished with 14 points, nine assists, four steals, and one turnover in a 103-102 overtime loss to the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City Summer League action. The No. 8 pick struggled early as a scorer, but he settled in as a passer and defender, giving Atlanta a useful first look at his lead-guard tools. Flemings averaged 16.1 points, 5.2 assists, 4.1 rebounds, and 1.5 steals at Houston, so the playmaking and defensive activity track. His fantasy value will depend on how quickly he earns real on-ball minutes.
