Gueye underwent surgery Tuesday to repair a fractured left foot that he suffered during a workout last week, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Gueye will be re-evaluated by medical staff in 3-to-4 months, which means he'll miss all of training camp and preseason and likely the start of the 2026-27 regular season. It's a brutal blow for the fourth-year big man, given that the Hawks used the No. 23 overall pick of the 2026 NBA Draft to select St. John's product Zuby Ejiofor. Gueye's absence means Ejiofor will have more opportunities in the preseason, and the rookie could establish a key role off the bench behind Onyeka Okongwu and projected backup center Jock Landale (ankle).

Quaintance underwent right knee surgery Wednesday and has no timetable for a return, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

The rookie center faced severe complications and persistent knee swelling last season following February 2025 ACL surgery, and a follow-up procedure was required. It remains to be seen how long he will be sidelined, but this certainly puts his status for training camp in doubt.

Huntley (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Pistons, per Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic.

Huntley is sidelined for a second straight contest with a right hamstring injury. The Suns are likely to exercise caution during exhibition action with Huntley, who's under a two-way contract with Phoenix.

Richardson (undisclosed) finished with 25 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt,1-1 FT), two rebounds, four assists and three steals in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 99-92 Summer League win over the 76ers.

Richardson was a bright spot in his return from a one-game absence for undisclosed reasons. The 2025 first-rounder is preparing for his second season with the Magic and is aiming to make a case for a reserve role in 2026-27 after hardly being part of the rotation as a rookie.

Thomas (rest) won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Pelicans, per Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland.

The Cavaliers are monitoring the rookie second-rounder's reps Wednesday after he exploded for 35 points (14-23 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT) during Monday's 90-73 Summer League win over the Heat. His next chance to play comes during Friday's matchup with the Bulls.

Enaruna (illness) won't play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Pelicans, per Danny Cunningham of Sports Radio 92.3 The Fan Cleveland.

Acuff will be rested for Wednesday's Summer League game against the Celtics, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

The Kings will also rest Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud during the second leg of this back-to-back set. It remains to be seen if Acuff will suit up for Friday's exhibition against Charlotte. Acuff produced 26 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, one steal and one block over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 115-83 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Nets.
