Reddish is in the second year of his rookie-scale deal. He earned $4.4 million last season which was lucky for the Hawks as Reddish was out for most of the season. The Hawks exercised Reddish’s 2021-22 team option back at the start of the 2020-21 season.
He has two more seasons left on his deal. He is going to earn $4.6 million next season and then his final year of this deal is a team option worth $5.9 million.
