The Atlanta Hawks parted ways with general manager Landry Fields, the team announced Monday.

The Hawks promoted assistant general manager Onsi Saleh to replace Landry. He'll take over the team's day-to-day operations immediately.

"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," owner Tony Ressler said in a statement.

He added: "I would genuinely like to thank Landry for his leadership during his time with us. Landry made our franchise better and left contributions that have positioned us for growth."

Fields joined Atlanta in 2019 and was named general manager in 2022. The former NBA player is responsible for drafting Zaccharie Risacher with the No. 1 overall pick last year.

The Hawks finished the 2024-25 campaign with a 40-42 record, falling short of the playoffs after losing in overtime to the Miami Heat in a play-in game.

Saleh will face a crucial decision regarding star guard Trae Young, who's eligible for an extension this offseason.

Saleh came to the Hawks in May 2024 and previously spent time working for the Golden State Warriors and San Antonio Spurs.

Atlanta will also begin searching for a president of basketball operations.
