ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels has agreed to a four-year, $100 million rookie contract extension, a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press on Monday.

The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the Hawks announced an extension with Daniels, but did not reveal terms of the agreement.

Daniels earned the extension after being named the NBA's most improved player while finishing as the runner-up as defensive player of the year last season.

“We are beyond thrilled to reach a long-term deal with Dyson, and we are excited to watch him continue to grow with our group,” Hawks general manager Onsi Saleh said in a statement. “This extension reflects our belief in him today and into the future.”
