Forward Jonathan Kuminga, who has yet to play since being acquired Feb. 5 by the Atlanta Hawks, is progressing in his rehabilitation for a left knee bone bruise and will be re-evaluated in about one week, the team said Wednesday.
He was injured on Jan. 22 while playing for the Golden State Warriors at the Dallas Mavericks. The Warriors traded Kuminga and guard Buddy Hield to the Hawks for center Kristaps Porzingis at the trade deadline.
Kuminga, 23, has played in 20 games this season (13 starts), averaging 12.1 points in 23.8 minutes, though his 5.9 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game would be career bests.
Golden State selected Kuminga seventh overall in the 2021 NBA Draft, and he was a member of the 2022 NBA champions as a rookie. For his career, he is averaging 12.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 22.1 minutes in 278 regular-season games (97 starts).
