After bowing out during the play-in tournament last year, the Atlanta Hawks found their way back into the postseason in 2025. It was another play-in bid for Atlanta, however, and the play-in tournament started with a 120-95 loss to the Orlando Magic.

The Hawks ultimately couldn't advance beyond the tournament for a second consecutive season, suffering a 123-114 defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat in overtime during their next play-in matchup.

It's likely that general manager Landry Fields will look to make a few changes this offseason.

Changes may not involve coach Quin Snyder, who has at least led the Hawks to the play-in tournament in each of his first two seasons. It may, however, involve shaking up a roster that hasn't been quite good enough with Trae Young as its centerpiece.

To be fair, injuries played a role this season—Jalen Johnson suffered a season-ending Labrum tear in January—and Atlanta moved off of Bogdan Bogdanović and De'Andre Hunter ahead of the trade deadline. Unless the Hawks can significantly upgrade their roster this offseason, though, it'll be hard to envision them as Eastern Conference contenders in the fall.
