Nate McMillan is going to stick around.
Atlanta Hawks president Travis Schlenk told reporters on Monday that the team has reached an agreement to make McMillan the full-time head coach, removing the interim label after he took over during the middle of the 2020-21 season.
It is a four-year deal, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
McMillan replaced Lloyd Pierce, whom the team fired mid-way through the season. The Hawks finished the regular season 27-11 under McMillan and clinched the No. 5 seed in the Eastern Conference.

Atlanta then went on a run in the postseason, defeating the Knicks and top-seeded Philadelphia 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, where they fell to the Milwaukee Bucks in six games.
McMillan, 56, has previously been a head coach with the Seattle SuperSonics, Portland Trail Blazers and Indiana Pacers.
