The Atlanta Hawks emerged as potential suitors for Phoenix Suns' forward Jae Crowder, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

"Sources tell me that the Hawks have emerged as a suitor among interested teams in Suns' forward Jae Crowder. The Hawks and Suns have had conversations in recent weeks and months, I am told, as Atlanta has seen there is a pathway to bring Crowder into a big three of Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, and John Collins," Charania reports.

"Several teams have been engaged on a potential deal for Crowder, who remains away from the Suns, as both sides work on a resolution for his future," an NBA insider adds.

Previously, the Suns and Crowder mutually agreed that the veteran forward will not participate in training camp.

Crowder was a key part of the 2021 Suns Finals team.

Last season, he averaged 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 1.9 assists over 67 games.
