Jonathan Kuminga is hitting the open market.
The Atlanta Hawks declined Kuminga's $24.3 million team option on Monday, making him an unrestricted free agent, ESPN's Shams Charania reported.
Kuminga was acquired by the Hawks from the Golden State Warriors at the trade deadline. In 16 games with Atlanta, he averaged 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 46.3 per cent shooting.
The 23-year-old entered the NBA with loads of potential after the Warriors selected him seventh overall in the 2021 draft. However, Kuminga struggled in Steve Kerr's system and eventually fell out of the rotation.
Kuminga now enters unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career and can look for the best possible fit.
