Jonathan Kuminga has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee and will not be reevaluated until after the 2026 All Star Weekend break, as reported by the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The forward recently joined the franchise as part of one of the most striking moves on the trade deadline.
Kuminga and Buddy Hield were acquired by Atlanta from the Golden State Warriors in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis. The Latvian center, however, has not yet debuted with the Hawks and has not played since January 7, although the team is confident he can return "soon."
So far this season, Kuminga is averaging 12.1 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. His physical condition will be crucial for a team looking to strengthen its rotation heading into the final stretch of the season.
Atlanta, in the midst of the play-in battle
The Hawks currently hold the ninth spot in the Eastern Conference with a record of 26-28, within the play-in zone. The franchise has aspirations of making the playoffs and hopes that both Kuminga and Porzingis can contribute once they are available.
