"Acquired by the Hawks at the trade deadline after falling out of favor in Golden State, Kuminga came off the bench to make a huge impact for his new team. He delivered a thunderous dunk shortly after taking the court for the first time near the midway point of the first quarter, breaking into a big smile as he headed the other way."
"Having completed his recovery from a left knee bone bruise, the high-flying forward from Congo knocked down a trio of 3-pointers to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 1/2 minutes."
"The longtime Hawks star was dealt to the Wizards in early January, ending an eight-year tenure that included four All-Star Game berths and an improbable run to the Eastern Conference finals in 2021."
Jonathan Kuminga made an immediate impact in his first game with the Hawks after being acquired from Golden State at the trade deadline, scoring a season-high 27 points off the bench. The forward added seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 24.5 minutes, including three 3-pointers and a thunderous dunk early in the game. Atlanta dominated Washington 119-98, leading by 15 after the first quarter and extending the advantage to 100-64 in the third period. Trae Young, the Hawks' longtime star traded to Washington in January, returned to Atlanta but remained sidelined due to knee and quadriceps injuries. The crowd honored Young with a standing ovation during a tribute video, though he watched from the bench as the Hawks' roster overwhelmed the Wizards.
