ATLANTA\u00a0 \u2014 Former Golden State Warrior<\/a> Jonathan Kuminga scored a season-high 27 points<\/a> in his debut for the Hawks, who blew out the hapless Washington Wizards 119-98 Tuesday night in Trae Young\u2019s return to Atlanta.<\/p>\n Acquired by the Hawks at the trade deadline after falling out of favor in Golden State, Kuminga came off the bench to make a huge impact for his new team.<\/p>\n He delivered a thunderous dunk shortly after taking the court for the first time near the midway point of the first quarter, breaking into a big smile as he headed the other way.<\/p>\n That was only the start of Kuminga\u2019s big night. Having completed his recovery from a left knee bone bruise, the high-flying forward from Congo knocked down a trio of 3-pointers to go along with seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 24 1\/2 minutes.<\/p>\n Young was the focus at the beginning of the night. The longtime Hawks star was dealt to the Wizards in early January, ending an eight-year tenure that included four All-Star Game berths and an improbable run to the Eastern Conference finals in 2021.<\/p>\n The point guard has yet to play for his new team, which seems mainly concerned with landing a high draft pick for next season as Young recovers from knee and quadriceps injuries.<\/p>\n
