Jonathan Kuminga is available for the Atlanta Hawks tonight in their game against the Dallas Mavericks.
Kuminga was originally listed as questionable for the Wednesday night contest, but he’s since been upgraded after dealing with a knee injury.
Kuminga is averaging 14.6 points, eight rebounds, 2.6 assists, and one steal in his five games with the Hawks this season.
Jonathan Kuminga Injury Update, Hawks Injury Report vs Mavericks
GettyATLANTA, GEORGIA – MARCH 01: Jonathan Kuminga #0 of the Atlanta Hawks dunks against the Portland Trail Blazers during the fourth quarter at State Farm Arena on March 01, 2026 in Atlanta, Georgia.
While the latest Kuminga injury update indicates he will play against Dallas, the knee injury has kept him out of a few games during his brief tenure with Atlanta.
He’s played in just five games in the more six weeks he’s been with the team, since being traded from the Golden State Warriors at the deadline.
The forward was averaging 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 2.5 assists on 45.4% before his lengthy and dramatic saga with Golden State ended.
It’s fair to say that his time with the Warriors was rightfully over, and though he did show very high potential in his first few games with the Hawks, availability has been a concern for the 23-year-old.
However, he is set to play in a cross-conference battle against the Mavericks.
Kuminga was the only player listed on the Hawk’s injury report, but now that he’s off the list, Atlanta will have a fully healthy lineup for Wednesday’s game.
Atlanta Hawks This Season
The 2025-26 campaign has been an interesting one for Atlanta.
Firstly, they’ve seen the rise of Jalen Johnson, who earned his first career All-Star nod this season, as he’s been a constant triple-double threat and the rightful future of the franchise.
Johnson is averaging 23 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 8.1 assists on 49.5% shooting, with 13 triple-doubles on the year.
In the same vein of the elevating Johnson, the Hawks traded former franchise star Trae Young earlier in the season to the Washington Wizards. Young didn’t receive a contract extension last offseason, and the team finally cut ties with the point guard who never led them to their expected peak.
Over the summer, they also made a move to acquire Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who has also been one of the surprises of the season. He’s been averaging 20.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists on 44.4% shooting.
Atlanta has a few other promising young players, but the early career concerns for former first overall pick Zaccharie Risacher have been evident, as he’s slipped out of the lineup in his second NBA season.
Overall, the Hawks are 37-31, and are on a ten-game winning streak, the longest in the NBA and the team’s longest in a decade.
While they were expected to make the Play-In Tournament again this season, Atlanta is making a strong case to be a top-six seed in the Eastern Conference.
