About Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Malangu Kuminga is a Congolese professional basketball player for the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). A consensus five-star recruit and the top small forward in the 2021 class, he chose to forgo his college eligibility and reclassify to the 2020 class to join the NBA G League Ignite. Kuminga finished his high school career at The Patrick School in Hillside, New Jersey. In January 2019, Kuminga was named most valuable player of the Slam Dunk to the Beach showcase after scoring 40 points, a single-game record at the event, in a loss to Gonzaga College High School. As a high school sophomore, Kuminga emerged as one of the best recruits in the 2021 class, with most recruiting services ranking him first in his class by the time he was a junior. On December 18, in his first career start, Kuminga put up a then career-high 26 points in a 119–100 loss to the Toronto Raptors. During his rookie season, he won an NBA championship with them in 2022.
