Mouhamed Gueye News, Rumors, Updates - Atlanta Hawks

Hawks exercise team option The Hawks exercised their fourth-year, $2.41 million team option on Gueye for the 2026-27 campaign Thursday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Gueye hasn't seen consistent action for Atlanta since entering the league in 2023-24. However, the 23-year-old can be relied upon when needed, considering he averaged 10.8 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 blocks, 1.5 steals and 50.0 percent shooting from deep across 27.9 minutes in eight starts during the 2025-26 campaign. There's a chance Gueye could have his number called more often this season, especially if the Hawks move on from Jonathan Kuminga.

Hawks should not overthink Mouhamed Gueye's team option The Atlanta Hawks can keep Mouhamed Gueye on a great deal, even as bench depth, for the 2026-27 NBA season.

Sees 10 minutes in loss Gueye racked up two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in nine minutes during Thursday's 140-89 loss to New York in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern Con...

Impact Playing in his third NBA season, Gueye was mostly a depth player for the Hawks in 2025-26. Across 77 regular-season contests, he averaged 15.3 minutes per game with 4.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 45.2 percent shooting from the field. The Hawks hold a $2.4 million team option ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Goes scoreless in win Gueye notched zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) in five minutes during Monday's 107-106 win over the Knicks in Game 2 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Impact Gueye played just five minutes, continuing to serve as a makeshift backup, highlighting the fact that Atlanta is certainly not blessed with center depth at the moment. Both he and Tony Bradley are really the only two backup options right now, with neither providing reliable production.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Available to return Monday Gueye (hip) is available to return to Monday's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference first-round series against the Knicks.

Impact Gueye went to the locker room after suffering a right hip contusion at the 5:33 mark of the first quarter but has since returned to the bench and is available to play. With Jock Landale (ankle) out, Gueye is the primary backup to Onyeka Okongwu at center and should see action over the remainder of Monday's contest.

Questionable to return Monday Gueye (hip) is questionable to return to Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks.

Impact Gueye took a hard fall and sustained a right hip contusion at the 5:33 mark of the first quarter, remaining down for several minutes before walking to the locker room under his own power. If he's unable to return Monday, Tony Bradley will operate as the primary backup center to Onyeka Okongwu.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Exits to locker room Gueye (undisclosed) went to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's Game 2 against the Knicks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Gueye took a hard fall at the 5:33 mark and remained down for several minutes before walking to the locker room under his own power. He's the primary backup at center to Onyeka Okongwu with Jock Landale (ankle) inactive, and if Gueye is unable to return, it could push Tony Bradley into a larger role for the remainder of the game.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Sunday Gueye (shoulder) is available for Sunday's game against Miami, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Gueye was initially tagged as questionable due to right shoulder inflammation, but the third-year pro has been given the green light to play in Sunday's regular-season finale. He's averaging 15.3 minutes per game this season but should operate in an expanded role against the Heat due to the absences of Onyeka Okongwu (finger), Jonathan Kuminga (knee) and Jalen Johnson (rest).

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

May not play against Miami Gueye is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Heat due to right shoulder inflammation.

Impact The Hawks are resting several key players for Sunday's regular-season finale, including Onyeka Okongwu (finger), Jalen Johnson (rest) and Jonathan Kuminga (knee). Gueye was slated to take on an elevated role, but his status is now in jeopardy due to his injury. If he's unable to play against the Heat, then more minutes would be available for Tony Bradley, Christian Koloko and Asa Newell.

APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE

Won't start Monday Gueye won't start Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact With Onyeka Okongwu (finger) and Dyson Daniels (toe) back in action, Gueye will slide to the second unit. He has averaged just 10.0 minutes per game while shooting 12.5 percent from the field over his last five appearances off the bench.

Starting Saturday Gueye will start Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact With Dyson Daniels (toe) sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, Gueye will step into the starting five. As a starter this season (seven games), the 23-year-old power forward has averaged 10.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.3 blocks in 27.3 minutes per contest.

MARCH 28 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Gueye will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Gueye made back-to-back starts due to the absence of Jalen Johnson, but with Johnson back in action Wednesday, he'll return to a reserve role. In 61 appearances off the bench this season, Gueye is averaging 3.9 points and 3.3 rebounds across 14.2 minutes.

MARCH 25 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in spot start Gueye closed with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks over 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-110 victory over Golden State.

Impact Gueye made his sixth start of the season Saturday (and first since Jan. 31) due to the absence of Jalen Johnson (shoulder). The former took advantage of the opportunity, leading the Hawks in rebounds en route to his third double-double of the season. Gueye should remain in Atlanta's starting lineup if Johnson is not cleared to play against Memphis on Monday.

Starting Saturday Gueye is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Jalen Johnson (shoulder) will miss his first game of the season, which will open up a spot in the starting lineup for Gueye. In five starts this season, Gueye is averaging 11.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 1.2 blocks across 28.6.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Gueye (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Hawks' 135-120 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Gueye had played at least four minutes in each of the Hawks' last 14 games, but with Atlanta having all of its key players available Wednesday, the third-year big man ended up dropping out of the rotation. He'll likely need at least one of Onyeka Okongwu, Jalen Johnson, Jonathan Kuminga or Jock Landale to miss time before recapturing a meaningful role off the bench.

MARCH 19 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 11 boards in win Gueye produced six points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 victory over Washington.

Impact Gueye moved into the starting lineup for the second half, replacing Jalen Johnson, who was ruled out after just seven minutes due to a hip injury. Gueye subsequently grabbed double-digit boards for the first time in his past 21 games, putting him on the radar as a streaming consideration, should Johnson be forced to miss additional time.

Impact Gueye's productive night off the bench came to an abrupt end after he and Naz Reid were involved in a heated scuffle at the 11:52 mark of the fourth quarter, resulting in both players being ejected. Onyeka Okongwu, Jock Landale and Asa Newell will handle the post minutes the rest of the way Monday.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Saturday Gueye (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Saturday in the Hawks' 126-119 loss to the Hornets.

Impact The second-year big man had appeared in each of the Hawks' last 17 games, but he saw that streak come to an end Saturday while head coach Quin Snyder went with Jock Landale and Asa Newell as the reserve options in the frontcourt as starting center Onyeka Okongwu (dental fracture) made his return from a four-game absence. While Gueye could supplant Newell as the team's preferred backup option at power forward in future games, the eventual return of Jonathan Kuminga (knee) at some point after the All-Star break will likely leave both Gueye and Newell outside of the rotation when Atlanta is at full strength.
