The Atlanta Hawks promoted former-player, Kyle Korver, to work under GM, Landry Fields, as an assistant general manager.
“Kyle has brought a great perspective and voice to our group after seamlessly making the transition from playing to coaching to the front office,” said General Manager Landry Fields. “Moving forward, I’m excited to have him even more involved with the day-to-day management and direction of our basketball operations group. Kyle is a special person and teammate whose impact will continue to raise the level of our entire organization. He and his family have made Atlanta their home and we’re thrilled to have them as part of the Hawks family long term.”
Korver is new to this side of the NBA, following his 17 seasons in the association as a player, which included four-and-a-half years in Atlanta. Korver started as a player development assistant with the Brooklyn Nets during the 2021-2022 season. In July, he joined Atlanta as the director of player affairs and development.
After the sudden departure of Travis Schlenk, Atlanta looks to Fields and Korver, along with the help of the Ressler family, to get this franchise stable and primed for the future.
