After a first full year with the Atlanta Hawks, star guard Dejounte Murray is set to stay in the organization for the foreseeable future.

According to Shams Charania from The Athletic, the 26-year-old is finalizing a four-year $120 million deal with the franchise. The contract also includes a player option, Charania notes.

Before agreeing to the new deal, Murray had one year left in his contract and was scheduled to earn $17,714,000 next season.

Murray got traded to the Hawks in 2022 after a stellar season with the San Antonio Spurs when he got named into his first All-Star team and led the league in steals.

This past season, he averaged 20.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.5 steals in 74 games for Atlanta.
