Atlanta Hawks All-Star point guard Trae Young has agreed to a five-year, $207 million designated rookie maximum extension, his agent Omar Wilkes of Klutch Sports told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
The contract will kick in during the 2022-23 season and run through 2026-27.
Negotiations with Young over a max extension on his rookie deal weren't too complicated after his brilliant playoff run for the Hawks, who advanced to the Eastern Conference finals after not making the playoffs each of the past three seasons.
Young was the driving force behind that success, leading the team to upset victories over the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers before pushing the Milwaukee Bucks to six games in the Eastern Conference finals, even as Young missed two games in that series with a bone bruise in his right foot and a sprained right ankle.
