Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.
Kuminga sat out Saturday's win over Sacramento for rest purposes with that game the second in a back-to-back set, but he'll be back in action and should see his usual minutes Monday evening. With Kuminga active, there will be fewer minutes available for Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Ruled out versus Sacramento
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) won't play Saturday against Sacramento, according to Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network.
It's the second half of a back-to-back for Atlanta, so Kuminga's absence shouldn't come as a surprise. Without the former Warrior on the floor, the door is open for Zaccharie Risacher to see more minutes.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Offers very little in loss
Rotowire
Kuminga accumulated three points (0-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 18 minutes during Friday's 109-102 loss to the Celtics.
Kuminga failed to produce anything of note, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Atlanta. He also continues to deal with knee issues, which have limited him to just 10 games over the past month. During that time, he has averaged just 11.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard fantasy leagues.

Kuminga did not play in Friday's game against the Rockets while managing a knee injury, but the fifth-year pro will be available to play Saturday against the team that selected him in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft. In six games (one start) with the Hawks, Kuminga is averaging 14.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 threes and 1.0 steals over 22.7 minutes per game.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Good to go Monday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is available for Monday's game against Orlando, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Iffy for Monday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic.
Kuminga has missed four of the last five games due to a left knee injury, which now has his status for Monday in question. If he is unable to go, Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye figure to see expanded roles.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Out Saturday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bucks.
Kuminga will receive a rest day Saturday after he recently returned from a three-game absence due to a left knee bone bruise, but he should be back in action for Monday's game against the Magic. Zaccharie Risacher and Mouhamed Gueye will likely pick up the slack in Kuminga's absence Saturday.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Pulls down nine rebounds in return
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) logged two points (0-4 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 19 minutes during Thursday's 108-97 win over the Nets.
After missing the previous three games due to a left knee bone bruise, Kuminga was back in action Thursday and served as the ninth man in the Hawks rotation. While Kuminga did a nice job attacking the glass, he also missed all four of his shot attempts and struggled at the charity stripe. Consistency has been an issue for Kuminga throughout his career, and even though he's ostensibly healthy again, he could struggle to earn more minutes so long as Jalen Johnson remains available.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Brooklyn, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Kuminga will return to the hardwood after missing three straight matchups due to a left knee bone bruise. He's appeared in only three games since Jan. 22 but is averaging an impressive 21.3 points per contest on 67.7 percent shooting from the field during that brief stretch.

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: Missing third straight game
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Kuminga continues to work through a lingering left knee injury that caused him to miss time with the Warriors earlier in the year before being traded to the Hawks in early February. Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher are both candidates to see more minutes off the bench for as long as Kuminga is out of action. Kuminga's next chance to play is Thursday against the Nets.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Kuminga is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to a left knee bone bruise.
The issue continues to plague Kuminga, who's in danger of missing a third contest in a row after also missing time with the Warriors earlier this year with the same injury. If Kuminga needs to sit out once more, Zaccharie Risacher and Corey Kispert would both have a clearer path to minutes off the bench Tuesday.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable for Saturday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Kuminga sat out Wednesday's win over Milwaukee due to left knee inflammation, and Corey Kispert and Zaccharie Risacher absorbed his minutes. It'll be more of the same if he's out again Saturday, and managers can expect to get official confirmation on Kuminga's status closer to tipoff.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Fares well off bench
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.

Hawks' Jonathan Kuminga: Back to bench
Rotowire
Kuminga will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Kuminga was in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Wizards, but he will return to the bench due to Jalen Johnson (hip) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (foot) returning to the lineup. In two games with the Hawks, Kuminga has averaged 22.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 27.0 minutes per contest.

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: 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.
