Dejounte Murray agreed to a four-year, $120 million contract extension with the Hawks Thursday, according to Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes, setting him up to remain with the team for the next five seasons.
Murray’s deal will also include a player option, per The Athletic’s Shams Charania. The 2022 All-Star returns to Atlanta after a stellar first season with the franchise, in which he averaged 20.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 46.4% from the floor in 74 games.
Prior to Thursday’s new extension, Murray was entering the final year of his four-year, $64 million contract that he signed in 2021 while playing with the Spurs. Even more, the 26-year-old previously tweeted a statement about “loyalty,” seemingly in reference to the franchise.
