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.

Rotowire

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.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Not available Sunday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is listed out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.
Kuminga had been listed as out for the Warriors' original matchup with the Timberwolves on Saturday, but even after that game was postponed to Sunday, the fifth-year forward won't be available after injuring his knee in Thursday's loss to the Mavericks. The Warriors are seemingly viewing Kuminga as day-to-day, but his sore left knee could still end up keeping him out Monday for the second leg of the back-to-back set in Minnesota.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Listed out with knee soreness
Rotowire
Kuminga is out for Saturday's game against Minnesota due to left knee soreness.
Kuminga left Wednesday's loss to Dallas and needs to miss at least contest with the issue. It's particularly rough timing for the forward, who was starting to pick up some steam amid Jimmy Butler's (knee) absence. Now that Kuminga is out, Moses Moody and De'Anthony Melton should see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Rotowire

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Logs 10 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Kuminga had two points (1-5 FG), four rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the Suns.
Kuminga was the 12th man in the rotation Thursday evening, so while he has worked his way back onto the floor, he's still not receiving enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy leagues. For what it's worth, head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged after the game that Kuminga was "good" in the 10 minutes he played, and he praised Kuminga for his speed and athleticism, per Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Could see action Thursday
Rotowire
Kuminga could be back in the rotation Thursday against the Suns, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Kuminga has been a healthy scratch for three straight games, but he's been impressive in recent practices and coach Steve Kerr mentioned that he wants to reward his efforts. It remains to be seen just how involved Kuminga will be, but fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to this.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Shooting woes in start
Rotowire
Kuminga amassed four points (1-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 22 minutes during Saturday's 99-94 victory over the Cavaliers.
With Jimmy Butler (knee) and multiple other key contributors sidelined, Kuminga got the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 11. However, the 23-year-old forward failed to get into a rhythm on the offensive end, finishing with single-digit points for a fifth consecutive appearance. On a more positive note, he grabbed at least six boards for a third straight game. In three appearances to kick off December, Kuminga has averaged 7.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists while shooting 25.0 percent from the field in 19.3 minutes per contest.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Puts up 10 points in return
Rotowire
Kuminga (knees) tallied 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two assists and one rebound across 19 minutes in Saturday's 104-96 win over the Pelicans.
Sidelined for Golden State's previous seven games due to bilateral patellar tendinitis, Kuminga made his return to action and provided an underwhelming line. Kuminga could see his minutes increase once he gets fully reconditioned and could help fill some of the scoring void in the short term while Stephen Curry (quadriceps) is sidelined, but the 23-year-old's overall production will likely be suppressed once the Warriors are at full strength.

Kuminga will shed his questionable tag and return from a seven-game absence due to bilateral knee patellar tendonitis. With the 23-year-old forward back in action, Gui Santos, Will Richard, Gary Payton and Pat Spencer are candidates to see fewer minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knees) will be listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.
Head coach Steve Kerr previously said Kuminga was "moving well" during a 5-on-5 scrimmage Wednesday, and it sounds like he's trending in the right direction. Presumably, Kuminga will warm up before a decision is made on his status. With Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined, Kuminga could absorb some usage if he's able to get the green light Saturday.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Hoping to practice Sunday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is going through an on-court workout Friday, and head coach Steve Kerr said the hope is Kuminga will be able to practice Sunday, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Kuminga has missed five consecutive contests due to bilateral knee tendinitis, and if he's able to participate in Sunday's practice, a return for Monday's game would be more plausible. He's averaging 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 27.7 minutes per game this season.
