The Hawks declined Kuminga's 2026-27 team option Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Kuminga was owed $24.3 million, so this move comes as no surprise. Rowland notes that the Hawks could still explore re-signing him in free agency, as they own his Bird Rights. In 22 games with Atlanta (including the playoffs), Kuminga averaged 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.
