7:14pm: Former NBA sharpshooter Kyle Korverwho has been a member of the Hawks‘ front office for the past four years, is leaving the organization, according to Marc Stein of The Stein Line (Twitter link).

The split is an amicable one, as Stein hears Atlanta’s assistant general manager is parting ways with team on “good terms.” Korver is excited for his “next post-playing chapter,” Stein adds.

Brad Rowland of Locked On Hawks (Twitter link) and Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution confirm the news, with Williams stating (via Twitter) that the 45-year-old is looking forward to “spending more time with his family.”

Korver became an executive with the Hawks in the summer of 2022, initially holding the title of director of player affairs and development. He was quickly promoted to assistant GM in January 2023.

Korver was reportedly among the candidates the Bulls considered when they were searching for a new head of basketball operations this offseason, a job that went to Bryson Graham who spent the 2024/25 campaign as Korver’s colleague in Atlanta.

After being selected 51st overall in the 2003 draft out of Creighton, Korver spent the following 17 seasons playing in the NBA, making his lone All-Star appearance in 2014/15 as a Hawk. Korver was player development assistant on the Nets’ coaching staff in 2021/22.
