"In his first two games with the Hawks, Kuminga was averaging 18.5 points, eight rebounds, and three assists on 63 percent shooting from the field and 40 percent shooting from 3-point range. Since then, though, the Kuminga magic has slowly worn off."
"Over his last nine games, Kuminga is averaging eight points, five rebounds, and two assists on just 35 percent shooting from the field. His minutes have also taken a bit of a tumble, going from averaging 27.5 minutes per game in his first two games with Atlanta compared to 20 in his next nine."
"For a Heat team that has some headaches of its own that they have to figure out, adding another one in the way of Kuminga would've complicated their entire situation much more."
The Miami Heat considered trading for Jonathan Kuminga but ultimately decided against it. His initial success with the Atlanta Hawks quickly faded, as he struggled in subsequent games. After averaging 18.5 points and 63 percent shooting in his first two games, Kuminga's performance dropped to eight points and 35 percent shooting over the next nine games. The Heat face their own challenges and adding Kuminga's uncertainties would have complicated their situation further, especially with decisions regarding other players looming.
