The 2024–25 Atlanta Hawks season was the 76th season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and 57th in Atlanta. It was the second full season under head coach Quin Snyder. The Hawks won the draft lottery, becoming the first play-in tournament team to do without any trades involved, and selected Zaccharie Risacher with the first overall pick.
The Hawks advanced to the knockout stage of the 2024 NBA Cup after winning East Group C with a 3–1 group stage record, earning the berth over the defending NBA champion Boston Celtics via a head-to-head tiebreaker. They defeated the New York Knicks in the quarterfinals but were eliminated in the semifinals by the eventual Cup champions Milwaukee Bucks.
On April 5, the Hawks would gain a play-in berth following their loss to the New York Knicks. With a win against the Utah Jazz the next day, the Hawks improved from their 36-win 2023–24 season. They finished eighth in the East with a 40–42 record. However, they fell to the Orlando Magic in the first game of the play-in and were subsequently eliminated from playoff contention after a loss to the Miami Heat in the second game.
Draft
Round Pick Player Position Nationality School/Club team 1 1 Zaccharie Risacher SF France LDLC ASVEL Basket The Hawks entered the draft (which was two days instead of one for the first time since the NBA draft was shortened to two rounds back in 1989) holding only one first round pick. Despite only having a 3% chance, Atlanta won the draft lottery on May 12, awarding them with the first overall pick for the first time since 1975. This became the first time in NBA history that a play-in tournament team would win the NBA draft lottery without relying on a trade to do so since the Hawks were one of four teams eliminated from playoff contention via the tournament the previous season.
On the first night of the draft, the Hawks decided to select French small forward Zaccharie Risacher from the LDLC ASVEL Basket in the recently rebranded French LNB Élite as the #1 pick with their only selection. Atlanta wouldn't do anything during the second day as they had traded their second-round selection to the Portland Trail Blazers in 2023, though a trade made the day after the draft concluded officially had the Hawks trade for Nikola Đurišić from Serbia with the Miami Heat in a three-team deal that included the Houston Rockets.
