The Atlanta Hawks have fired general manager Landry Fields and promoted Onsi Saleh to GM, the organization announced Monday. Additionally, the Hawks have launched a search for a president of basketball operations, hiring the executive search firm Sportsology Group to lead the process.

In the team’s press release, Principal Owner Tony Ressler made the following statement:

“Every offseason we evaluate how we operate and ways we can improve our organization. As we enter this pivotal offseason, we have several complex decisions ahead of us, and we are committed to providing the human and financial resources needed to ensure that we navigate these decisions with a high level of precision and foresight. Adding an accomplished, senior-level leader to provide strategic direction and structure as well as partnering with Onsi and our talented front office is a top priority.”

The Hawks finished the season with a 40-42 record, missing the playoffs for the second consecutive season. They were eliminated from postseason contention on Friday following a play-in loss to the Miami Heat.

Fields joined the Hawks in 2020 as assistant GM in 2020. He was promoted to GM in 2022 and amassed an overall record of 117-129 over his three-season tenure, including one playoff appearance in 2023.

Saleh joined the organization in May 2024 as assistant GM. Prior to joining the Hawks, Saleh spent three seasons in the Golden State Warriors’ front office, including the 2023-24 season as vice president of basketball strategy and team counsel.
