Atlanta Hawks guard CJ McCollum has agreed to a one-year, $21 million contract extension with the franchise that includes a trade kicker. Agent Sam Goldfeder of Excel Sports Management told ESPN about the agreement. The contract keeps McCollum out of free agency.
He had been eligible for an extension until June 30. The deal was announced on June 21 as the NBA offseason began following the New York Knicks' defeat of the San Antonio Spurs in the Finals. McCollum arrived in Atlanta via the Trae Young trade.
McCollum hit game-winning shots in the final minute of consecutive playoff games against the Knicks. He led the Hawks in assists after Young's departure. The 2026 NBA draft is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday on ABC, ESPN and the ESPN app.
