SLUG: kuminga-high-energy-hawks-debut-warriors-exit
Jonathan Kuminga delivered an explosive first performance for the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 25, 2026, only days after a contentious split from the Golden State Warriors.
The forward’s energetic showing immediately energized his new team and its fans, underscoring the dramatic nature of his recent departure from Golden State. Details of the on-court numbers were not immediately released, but team officials and spectators alike described the effort as “electric,” calling it a tone-setting introduction to his time in Atlanta.
Kuminga’s move to the Hawks ended a rocky period with the Warriors that culminated in what sources characterized as a “messy” parting. The 23-year-old had been viewed as a key piece in Golden State’s rotation before differences behind the scenes led to the abrupt change of scenery.
The Hawks did not announce when Kuminga will next suit up, but coaching staff said his debut provided an instant boost both offensively and defensively as the club enters the stretch run of the regular season.
