Nickeil Alexander-Walker Agrees Four-Year $62M Deal With Atlanta Hawks

News summary

Nickeil Alexander-Walker has agreed to a four-year, $62 million contract with the Atlanta Hawks in a sign-and-trade deal involving the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 26-year-old guard, known for his perimeter defense and three-point shooting, had a career-best season with Minnesota, averaging 9.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists while shooting over 38% from three-point range. Alexander-Walker played a key role off the bench in the Timberwolves' back-to-back Western Conference Finals appearances but was let go due to Minnesota's financial constraints after re-signing key players like Naz Reid and Julius Randle. The Hawks, who finished with a 40-42 record and exited early in the playoffs, view Alexander-Walker as a valuable addition to bolster their backcourt rotation. His development from a frequently traded prospect into a reliable 3-and-D player highlights his growth and potential impact on Atlanta's roster. The deal includes a player option and trade kicker, reflecting both the Hawks' confidence in Alexander-Walker and his rising market value.
