There are still several teams who have expressed interest in Jonathan Kuminga.

EDGE Analysis

The Lakers, Clippers, Cavs and Bucks remain interested in Kuminga. The Hawks have also expressed interest in re-signing him. He should sign with a team before training camp.

Jonathan Kuminga continues to be strongly pursued by the Los Angeles Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Shams Charania reported that the Lakers remain in the mix for Kuminga and view him as a potential starting forward. The 23-year-old played in just 36 games last season, averaging 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game with both the Warriors and Hawks.

The Hawks declined Kuminga's 2026-27 team option Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga was owed $24.3 million, so this move comes as no surprise. Rowland notes that the Hawks could still explore re-signing him in free agency, as they own his Bird Rights. In 22 games with Atlanta (including the playoffs), Kuminga averaged 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers.

Kuminga contributed 11 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga closed the chapter on another disappointing season, undoubtedly raising some questions heading into the 2026-27 campaign. Although the trade from Golden State to Atlanta allowed him to play meaningful basketball, his impact was minimal. In 22 games as a Hawk, Kuminga averaged 12.6 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top 250 in standard fantasy formats.

Kuminga finished with 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 25 minutes during Saturday's 114-98 loss to New York in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga was unable to maintain his recent momentum, struggling from the field while adding little in the peripheral columns. At one point, he missed four consecutive shots during the second quarter yet continued to force things at an inappropriate time. The series is now level at 2-2 heading back to New York. The hope for Atlanta is that Kuminga can play more like he did during the two previous games, both of which were victories for the Hawks.

Kuminga supplied 21 points (9-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Thursday's 109-108 victory over New York in Game 3 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga found success on the offensive end for a second straight appearance. He's scored 40 combined points over this brief stretch, resulting in a pair of victories. This Atlanta squad is clearly dangerous when Kuminga is firing on all cylinders off the bench while CJ McCollum and Jalen Johnson lead the charge with the first unit.

Kuminga provided 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 107-106 victory over New York in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga nearly matched the output of the New York second unit with 19 points compared to their 20. He's averaging 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.0 assists through two postseason games, but he's shooting just 16.7 percent from beyond the arc thus far.

Kuminga had eight points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 27 minutes during Saturday's 113-102 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga failed to produce anything of note, despite playing 27 minutes off the bench. Outside of a couple of encouraging performances, Kuminga has been unable to serve as a key contributor for his new team. For Atlanta to have a chance of upsetting New York, Kuminga is going to have to be more of an all-around contributor.

Kuminga (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga will be available for the start of the postseason after sitting out the regular-season finale. In 16 regular-season appearances with the Hawks, he averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 0.9 steals in 22.0 minutes per game.

Kuminga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga will join several other Hawks players on the sidelines for Sunday's regular-season finale. The 2021 first-rounder was acquired by Atlanta from Golden State in early February, and in 13 outings since March 12, Kuminga has averaged 10.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 threes and 0.7 steals over 21.0 minutes, establishing himself as a key piece to the Hawks' rotation heading into the postseason. Corey Kispert, Zaccharie Risacher, Buddy Hield and Keaton Wallace should all operate in expanded roles against the Heat.
