Korver suited up for the Hawks from 2012-17. His lone All-Star selection came when he averaged 12.1 points per game on a league-leading 49.2% shooting from behind the arc in 2014-15.
Korver most recently took the court for the Milwaukee Bucks in 2020-21. After his playing days came to an end, he spent this past season as a player development coach for the Brooklyn Nets.
It’s unclear what kind of front office position Korver is expected to take within the Hawks’ organization.
