Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Kuminga is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Nets due to a left knee bone bruise.
Kuminga has missed the past three games with what was initially termed left knee "inflammation," but now his injury has been upgraded to a "bone bruise," which is a bit more severe. We'll have a better idea on Kuminga's status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's forced to spend another game on the sidelines, Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher will continue to absorb his minutes.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Kuminga is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks with left knee inflammation, per Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
Kuminga continues to be plagued by a nagging knee issue, which delayed his Hawks debut upon his arrival from Golden State. If the dynamic forward is unable to give it a go Wednesday, Zaccharie Risacher would be worthy of streaming consideration in shallow leagues and Corey Kispert in deeper formats.

Rotowire
Kuminga notched 20 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Sunday's 135-101 victory over Portland.
Jalen Johnson (hip) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) returned to action Sunday, which pushed Kuminga to the bench, but he still played a sizable role off the bench and made the most of his minutes. He's off to a dream start in Atlanta, posting averages of 21.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 three-pointers across three appearances.

Kuminga is in the Hawks' starting lineup against the Wizards on Thursday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Impresses in team debut
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) finished Tuesday's 119-98 win over the Wizards with 27 points (9-12 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 24 minutes.
Acquired from the Warriors earlier this month, Kuminga wasn't cleared to make his Hawks debut until Tuesday after a lengthy recovery from a left knee bone bruise. Though he made just his third appearance since Dec. 20, Kuminga didn't exhibit any signs of rust and caught fire in the third quarter, when he poured in 18 of his season-high 27 points. With starting power forward Jalen Johnson (hip) exiting in the first quarter and not returning to the contest, Kuminga could be next in line to move up to the top unit if Johnson is unable to play in the Hawks' rematch with the Wizards on Thursday.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Available Tuesday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Kuminga hasn't played since Jan. 22 due to a left knee bone bruise but will be available to make his Hawks debut Tuesday. The 23-year-old forward appeared in 20 regular-season outings (13 starts) with Golden State before being traded to Atlanta on Feb. 4. With the Warriors this season, he averaged 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per contest. It wouldn't be surprising to see Kuminga operate under a minutes restriction following the extended absence. Still, his return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Corey Kispert and Mouhamed Gueye.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Could return Tuesday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Wizards, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
The Hawks last reported that Kuminga would be re-evaluated one week from Wednesday, but it appears he could have a chance to return earlier than initially indicated. Anthony Slater of ESPN.com notes the expectation is that Kuminga will ultimately gain clearance to make his team debut, but he'll need to prove his health leading up to tipoff before officially receiving the green light.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: To miss at least one more week
Rotowire
The Hawks announced Wednesday that Kuminga (knee) will be re-evaluated in about one week.
Kuminga remains in recovery mode after sustaining a left knee bone bruise in late January with the Warriors. As a result, it appears the forward will miss at least Atlanta's next four games before being re-evaluated. Until Kuminga is ready to make his Hawks debut, more playing time will remain available for Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Sidelined through All-Star break
Rotowire
Kuminga will have his left knee injury re-evaluated by medical staff after the All-Star break, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Kuminga has been sidelined since sustaining a left knee bone bruise against the Mavericks on Jan. 22 while playing for the Warriors. Kuminga and Buddy Hield were traded by Golden State to Atlanta in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis (Achilles) on Wednesday, but Kuminga will have to wait until after the All-Star break to make his Hawks debut. The earliest date he could return is against the 76ers on Thursday, Feb. 19.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Headed to Atlanta
Rotowire
The Warriors traded Kuminga (knee), along with Buddy Hield, to the Hawks on Wednesday in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Kuminga and the Warriors' relationship had been frayed for a while, and the two sides will finally split. Kuminga has been sidelined since Jan 22 due to a bone bruise in his left knee. Still just 23 years old, Kuminga has plenty of untapped potential, and Atlanta could be the right spot to tap into that upside. The forward's likeliest path to playing time will come as Jalen Johnson's backup, though he'll have to compete with Mouhamed Gueye and Asa Newell for minutes at the power forward spot. It's unlikely Kuminga will be available in time for Thursday's game against Utah, which would make his next chance to play Saturday against the Hornets.
