Kuminga Traded to Hawks, Debut Pending Due to Knee Injury

Jonathan Kuminga has been traded from the Warriors to the Hawks, along with Buddy Hield, in exchange for Kristaps Porzingis. The 23-year-old forward, whose relationship with Golden State was reportedly frayed, is sidelined since January 22 with a left knee bone bruise. He is unlikely to play Thursday against Utah, with his Hawks debut potentially Saturday versus the Hornets. Atlanta is seen as a place to develop his untapped potential, likely as Jalen Johnson's backup, as he finally has a new home.
