Atlanta Hawks reportedly decline Jonathan Kuminga’s team option after trade with Warriors at deadline

Jonathan Kuminga’s run with the Atlanta Hawks is over.

The Hawks declined Kuminga’s team option ahead of the deadline on Monday afternoon, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania. That will officially make Kuminga a free agent this offseason.

Kuminga was dealt to the Hawks ahead of the deadline last season in a deal that sent Kristaps Porzingis to the Golden State Warriors. That ended what was a rough run for Kuminga in Golden State.

He reportedly requested a trade as soon as he was eligible to be dealt after being largely sidelined during the first half of the season. Kuminga, who the Warriors selected with the No. 7 overall pick out of the G League in 2021, only appeared in 20 games for the franchise last season.

Kuminga ended up playing 16 games with the Hawks after that trade. He averaged 12.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per contest in Atlanta. The Hawks finished 46-36 and reached the playoffs for the first time under head coach Quin Snyder, but they were knocked out in the first round.

Kuminga had signed a two-year, $46.8 million deal with the Warriors ahead of the 2025-26 season with the potential out this summer.

This post will be updated with more information shortly.
