"In his Atlanta debut on Tuesday, Kuminga threw down thunderous dunks, knocked down 3-pointers and spent much of the night smiling in a 119-98 rout of the Washington Wizards. Kuminga finished with a season-high 27 points -- a far cry from the ending to his tenure in Golden State, where the high-flying forward fell out of favor with coach Steve Kerr."
"Kuminga checked in off the Atlanta bench near the midway point of the first quarter and made an immediate impact against the woeful Wizards. He dunked off a fast break -- breaking into a big grin as he headed back up the court -- and gave a tantalizing glimpse of his wide-ranging talents with a 3-pointer, four assists, two rebounds and a steal during his initial stint on the court."
"The No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 draft, Kuminga was dropped from the rotation in Golden State and asked to be traded when his playing time dwindled. At first, the Warriors indicated there weren't a lot of teams showing interest. But the Hawks stepped forward as a trading partner."
Jonathan Kuminga made an immediate impact in his Atlanta Hawks debut against the Washington Wizards, scoring 27 points while adding seven rebounds, four assists, and two steals in a 119-98 victory. Acquired from Golden State in a trade deadline deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Warriors, Kuminga played nearly 24.5 minutes off the bench. He displayed his versatility with thunderous dunks and three-pointers while connecting effectively with teammates. Kuminga had missed his first six games with Atlanta due to a left knee bone bruise sustained during his final weeks with the Warriors, where he had fallen out of favor with coach Steve Kerr.
