Hawks Decline Kuminga Option | Atlanta Hawks News

Atlanta Hawks decline Jonathan Kuminga’s team option for 2027, making him a free agent—but don’t panic, the Hawks aren’t kicking him out. This move gives them flexibility: they can re-sign him on a cheaper long-term deal or explore sign-and-trade options. Unlike the Buddy Hield trade, this was a necessary short-term decision to avoid overcommitting to his hefty salary. Kuminga’s future in Atlanta remains uncertain, but his departure could open doors for young forwards Asa Newell and Mo Gueye to shine.
