O Hawks garantiu uma terceira temporada para Asa Newell, exercendo a opção do ala para 2027/28, anunciou a equipe.
Newell, escolhido na 23ª posição geral no draft do ano passado, recebe cerca de US$ 3,4 milhões nesta temporada; a medida garante um impacto de US$ 3,56 milhões no teto salarial na campanha seguinte.
Ele passou um ano no basquete universitário em Georgia antes de entrar no draft de 2025. Como novato foi usado com parcimônia, com médias de 5,2 pontos e 2,2 rebotes em 44 partidas (11,4 minutos), com aproveitamentos de .538/.387/.552.
A G League ofereceu mais espaço. No College Park Skyhawks, afiliado do Hawks, o ala-pivô de 2,08 m registrou 22,2 pontos, 7,8 rebotes, 2,1 assistências e 1,4 bloqueios em 15 jogos, com .567/.378/.692 de quadra, de três e da linha.
O clube principal, por sua vez, está em queda: a derrota de sábado deixou o Hawks em 3-4, com quatro reveses em cinco jogos desde um começo 2-0. Newell foi um dos poucos pontos positivos na derrota pesada em Nova Orleans, com 13 pontos e quatro rebotes, ambos melhores marcas da temporada, em pouco menos de 19 minutos.
Ele não fez parte da rotação de Quin Snyder até aqui nesta temporada, embora a decisão fosse esperada dado o quão modesto é seu próximo número no teto.
Segunda-feira é o prazo para as equipes exercerem as opções de terceiro e quarto ano em contratos de escala de novatos.
