Jonathan Cumminga will miss at least another week after being traded to the Warriors
The Atlanta Hawks made several moves at the trade deadline, and in one of those moves they could get Jonathan Cummings from the Golden State Warriors. He didn’t see much floor time with the Warriors this season, and while that was mostly due to rotations, he was also injured.
Kuminga has yet to step on the floor for the Hawks due to a bone bruise and knee hyperextension, and they are recent offered an update to his status.
“Forward Jonathan Cummings, who suffered a bruised left knee while playing for Golden State in Dallas on Jan. 22, is making progress in his rehab. He will be re-evaluated in about a week and an update will be provided at that time,” the Hawks wrote.
Only because Kuminga will be re-evaluated in a weekit does not mean that they will return in that time period. There will likely be more benchmarks he must clear before returning to the floor, but the good news is that he is making progress.
When Kuminga is ready to play, he should be a nice addition to the Hawks’ rotation, as he has shown during his time with the Warriors that he can use his athleticism to get anywhere on the floor. Unfortunately, his role with the Warriors wasn’t very clear and tensions seemed to grow between the two sides over the past few seasons.
With the Hawks, the hope is that Kuminga can find a consistent role by the end of the season, and if he plays well, they could pick up his team option and keep him for the future.
There’s a good chance they’ll play behind Jaylen Johnson, but there could also be some scenarios where head coach Quin Snyder decides to put them on the floor together.
