Kobe Bufkin Injury News & Updates
Nov 23, 2025
Off injury report
Bufkin (personal) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin most recently played for the South Bay Lakers of the G League, where he missed Friday's game against the Santa Cruz Warriors due to personal reasons. He has since signed a 10-day hardship deal to join the Grizzlies, where he appears set to make his team debut Monday. Although he doesn't figure to see a major role, Bufkin could see some time due to Memphis' injuries at the guard spots.
Nov 23, 2025
Inks deal with Memphis
Memphis plans to sign Bufkin (personal) to a 10-day hardship exception Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin had been playing with the South Bay Lakers of the G League to open the season, though he missed Friday's game due to personal reasons. He now joins a Memphis backcourt hit hard by injuries, with Ja Morant (calf), Ty Jerome (calf), Scotty Pippen (toe) and Javon Small (toe) all sidelined.
Oct 19, 2025
Cut loose by Brooklyn
Bufkin is being waived by the Nets, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin, the No. 15 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, struggled to stay healthy and establish a consistent role with the Hawks before being traded to the Nets in September. Facing a roster crunch, Brooklyn decided to move on from the young guard amid a crowded backcourt that includes returning scorer Cam Thomas and rookies Egor Demin, Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf.
Sep 15, 2025
Traded to Nets
The Nets are acquiring Bufkin from the Hawks in exchange for cash considerations, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The move frees up a roster spot for Atlanta and reinforces Brooklyn's backcourt depth. Bufkin averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12.4 minutes per game over 10 regular-season games in 2024-25.
Jul 20, 2025
Won't play in Summer League finale
Bufkin (rest) won't play in Sunday's Summer League game against the Celtics, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will sit out the team's final Summer League game. Across four appearances this summer, the 21-year-old guard averaged 19.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 26.5 minutes per game. The Michigan product will target a larger role in the Hawks' rotation this season after missing significant time due to a season-ending right shoulder surgery during the 2024-25 campaign.
Jul 14, 2025
Drops 25 points in SL win
Bufkin accumulated 25 points (8-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 111-108 Summer League overtime win over the Rockets.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin's nine turnovers Monday were less than ideal, but his efficient 25-point outing helped offset those hiccups. It's been an up-and-down Summer League for the young guard, who poured in 29 points Friday against the Heat before struggling with a 3-for-17 shooting night and 10 points Sunday versus the Suns. Bufkin was limited to only 10 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 due to a lingering shoulder issue that required surgery, averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists while shooting 38.3 percent from the floor.
Jul 11, 2025
Erupts for 29 points in win
Bufkin tallied 29 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 15-15 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and two blocks across 26 minutes during Friday's Summer League 105-98 win against the Heat.
ANALYSIS
After undergoing season-ending shoulder surgery Jan. 7, Bufkin made his return to the floor Friday in a big way, scoring a game-high 29 points while going a perfect 15-for-15 from the free-throw line. The Michigan product appeared in only 10 games during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, while shooting 38.3 percent from the field.
Jul 7, 2025
100 percent for Summer League
Bufkin, who underwent season-ending surgery Jan. 7 to address right shoulder instability, has been fully cleared for Summer League, Grant Afseth of RG.org reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin missed the final three months of the 2024-25 season. His rookie season was sabotaged by injuries as well, with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft having just 27 regular-season appearances under his belt with the Hawks. He's likely to be a featured player for the Hawks during the Summer League, although Afseth reports that he's only expected to appear in a few games before the team shuts him down. Bufkin has a real shot at carving out a rotation role this year.
Dec 18, 2024
Out for remainder of season
Bufkin will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season as he undergoes surgery to address his right shoulder instability, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
This is a tough blow for the second-year guard, but he's expected to make a full recovery prior to the 2025-26 season. Bufkin struggled to see consistent run for the Hawks across 10 regular-season appearances, averaging 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12.4 minutes.
Dec 2, 2024
Limited role continues Monday
Bufkin chipped in 10 points (4-4 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over the Pelicans.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin scored double-digits for the first time this season, continuing his modest start to the campaign. Although he possesses an intriguing skill set, Bufkin has yet to carve out a sizeable role. His long-term prospects remain upbeat, however, it appears his only chance of playing consistent minutes this season will be if and when injuries befall those ahead of him in the rotation.
Nov 19, 2024
Serves as backup PG in debut
Bufkin (shoulder) tallied five points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 12 minutes off the bench in Monday's 109-108 win over the Kings.
ANALYSIS
The second-year player had missed the Hawks' first 14 games of the season while recovering from a right shoulder subluxation suffered late in the preseason before he was cleared to make his debut Monday. He immediately supplanted Keaton Wallace in the rotation and served as the backup to Trae Young, who covered the other 36 minutes at point guard. Though Bufkin has the ability to play off the ball, the Hawks are now back to full strength on the wing after Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) returned to action Monday following an extended absence of his own, so Bufkin may struggle to see his minutes tick upward unless Young misses time.
Nov 18, 2024
Available Monday
Bufkin (shoulder) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin is cleared to make his season debut after missing the first month due to a dislocated right shoulder. The Hawks will be surprisingly healthy Monday, so it's unclear if Bufkin will actually see any playing time.
Nov 17, 2024
Remains out Sunday
Bufkin (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Portland, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has yet to make his season debut for the Hawks while working his way back from a dislocated right shoulder he sustained during the preseason. The 21-year-old's next chance to suit up will come in the second leg of a back-to-back set Monday against the Kings.
Nov 16, 2024
Unlikely to play Sunday
Bufkin (shoulder) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin continues to work his way back from a dislocated right shoulder that he suffered during the preseason in October. He spent the past week in the G League to get some practice time, and while he was recalled by the Hawks on Friday, he doesn't appear ready to make his 2024-25 regular-season debut Sunday. Bufkin's next chance to play will be Monday against the Kings.
Nov 15, 2024
Recalled Friday
Bufkin (shoulder) was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has yet to make his season debut due to a dislocated right shoulder, though he was assigned to the G League to get some practice time in with the squad. The 21-year-old is slated for a re-evaluation early next week, and he seems to be ramping up for a return to game action.
Nov 15, 2024
Practicing with G League
Bufkin (shoulder) was assigned to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Per Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bufkin will get a full practice in with the G League squad while he continues his rehab. The second-year guard has yet to make his season debut due to a shoulder injury but is slated to be re-evaluated early next week.
Nov 12, 2024
Will be re-evaluated in one week
Bufkin (shoulder) is progressing through is rehabilitation and will be re-evaluated in approximately one week.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has yet to appear in a game this season due to his shoulder injury, but his recovery process seems to have gone well enough for him to potentially return soon. The Hawks have a myriad of injuries they are dealing with at the moment, so potentially getting Bufkin back would be massive for their guard rotation.
Oct 30, 2024
Team option exercised
Bufkin's (shoulder) third-year option for 2025-26 was picked up by Atlanta on Wednesday
ANALYSIS
Bufkin's ongoing recovery from a shoulder subluxation is a multi-week timeline, and durability continues to be an issue for the young guard, who also spent time the G League last season but has logged just 17 NBA appearances. Nonetheless, his development is a priority for the Hawks.
Oct 29, 2024
Out at least one month
The Hawks announced Tuesday that Bufkin (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin suffered a right shoulder subluxation during a recent practice and will miss at least a month. He's begun treatment and rehabilitation, but it'll likely be a while before he returns to on-court activities. His extended absence shouldn't have a major impact on Atlanta's rotation.
Oct 24, 2024
Remains sidelined Friday
Bufkin (shoulder) won't play during Friday's game versus the Hornets.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin sustained a right shoulder subluxation during practice in Atlanta on Oct. 19. While the team is still determining treatment options, the second-year guard's next chance to suit up will be Sunday's matchup with the Thunder.
Oct 21, 2024
Won't play Wednesday
Bufkin will not play Wednesday against the Nets after suffering a right shoulder injury during Saturday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will undergo testing and further evaluation, but he'll miss at least one game to open the season. With Bufkins unavailable, it's possible that Vit Krejci has a shot to crack the rotation in the backcourt.
Oct 18, 2024
Explodes for 31 points in loss
Bufkin amassed 31 points (12-26 FG, 7-14 3PT), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's preseason loss to Oklahoma City.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Trae Young who was given the night off. Making the most of his opportunity, Bufkin took charge on the offensive end, flashing the upside we have been waiting to see. Sadly, his role will diminish when the Hawks are healthy, leaving him on the outside looking in when it comes to meaningful playing time. With that said, he should serve as the primary backup behind Young, which at least gives him some appeal in deeper formats.
Oct 17, 2024
Running with first unit
Bufkin is starting Thursday's preseason game against the Thunder, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will get an opportunity to start at point guard while Trae Young rests Thursday evening. Bufkin played a sizable role in Wednesday's matchup, tallying 15 points, four rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 24 minutes off the bench.
Oct 16, 2024
Bounces back vs. Heat
Bufkin tallied 15 points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four assists, four rebounds and two blocks over 24 minutes in Wednesday's 120-11 preseason loss to Miami.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin struggled from the field in his last preseason outing Monday against the 76ers. While he committed a team-high five turnovers Wednesday, Bufkin was at least more efficient from the field, and he contributed on the defensive end of the floor with two rejections. Bufkin played in just 17 regular-season games in 2023-24 as he spent most of the year either injured or in the G League. However, the 2023 first-round pick is expected to step into a larger role as the Hawks' backup point guard behind Trae Young after Dejounte Murray was traded to the Pelicans on June 28.
Oct 15, 2024
Struggles off bench Monday
Bufkin logged five points (2-13 FG, 0-5 3pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal over 21 minutes in Monday's 104-89 preseason loss to Philadelphia.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin and fellow reserve Bogdan Bogdanovic both struggled from the field Monday, and the duo combined for 19 points on 4-for-24 shooting from the field (including 2-for-13 from beyond the arc). Bufkin, who Atlanta selected in the first round of the 2023 NBA Draft, is expected to serve as the backup point guard to Trae Young during the 2024-25 regular season. However, Bufkin will need to be more efficient from the field in order to keep a steady spot in the Hawks' rotation.
Sep 30, 2024
100 percent for camp
Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Bufkin (shoulder) will be ready for training camp, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin suffered a right shoulder subluxation during the offseason which kept him out of the LAs Vegas Summer League. However, he's been cleared to be a full participant in training camp this week. With Dejounte Murray out of the equation this season, both Bufkin and Dyson Daniels will have a lot of opportunity to earn meaningful minutes in the backcourt.
Jul 11, 2024
Out for remainder of Summer League
The Hawks announced Thursday that Bufkin suffered a right shoulder subluxation during Tuesday's practice and will not play in the Las Vegas Summer League.
ANALYSIS
While Bufkin's shoulder injury will keep him out of the Summer League, he is expected to make a full recovery ahead of training camp. The second-year guard averaged 4.8 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 11.5 minutes across 17 appearances in 2023-24.
Apr 2, 2024
Gets rotation spot in return
Bufkin (toe) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one block across 17 minutes off the bench in Monday's 113-101 loss to the Bulls.
ANALYSIS
Suiting up for the first time since March 2 after recovering from a sprained left big toe, Bufkin supplanted Trent Forrest in the rotation as the Hawks' backup point guard and also saw some playing time in an off-ball role alongside Dejounte Murray. The rookie first-round pick could have the ability to pick up more minutes if the Hawks elect to deprioritize two-way player Vit Krejci on the wing, but if he sticks in his current backup role, Bufkin's fantasy upside will be fairly limited.
Apr 1, 2024
Will be available Monday
Bufkin (toe) is available to face the Bulls on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin spent most of the season in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks, but he had been out of action due to a nagging toe injury. He'll be available for Monday's matchup, though he's going to serve as a backup alternative for Dejounte Murray in a best-case scenario. He shouldn't have a lot of fantasy appeal even in the deepest of formats.
Mar 31, 2024
Deemed questionable for Monday
Bufkin (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has missed the last 14 games due to a left big toe sprain, but he seems to be trending toward a return since he is listed as questionable rather than being immediately ruled out. Bufkin could find his way into the rotation should he suit up, due to the numerous injuries in Atlanta's backcourt.
Mar 29, 2024
Will remain sidelined Saturday
Bufkin (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
The Hawks announced last week that Bufkin would be re-evaluated in 7-to-10 days, and he isn't yet ready to return to game action. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to suit up, but his next chance to do so will be Monday against Chicago.
Mar 21, 2024
Out at least another week
The Hawks announced Thursday that Bufkin (toe) is making progress in his re-habilitation and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin hasn't played since March 2 due to a left toe sprain and will continue to miss an extended period. Vit Krejci and Trent Forrest have received increased playing time in Bufkin's absence.
Mar 7, 2024
Out at least 10 days
The Hawks announced Thursday that Bufkin (toe) has been diagnosed with a left big toe sprain and will be in a walking boot for the next 10 days, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has already missed Atlanta's last two contests due to a toe injury and will now remain out for an extended period. Trent Forrest should continue to receive increased playing time in his absence.
Mar 6, 2024
Out again Wednesday
Bufkin (toe) will not play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will miss his second straight game, but he's considered day-to-day. Trent Forrest will likely pick up the backup point guard minutes again Wednesday after seeing 11 minutes against the Knicks on Tuesday.
Mar 5, 2024
Downgraded to out
Bufkin (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will join Trae Young (finger) on the sidelines, opening up a few extra minutes for Garrison Mathews and Wesley Matthews. Bufkin can be considered questionable, at best, for Wednesday's matchup versus Cleveland.
Mar 4, 2024
Dealing with toe soreness
Bufkin is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks due to left big toe soreness.
ANALYSIS
With Trae Young (finger) sidelined, Bufkin has played double-digit minutes in four straight games, averaging 6.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 16.3 minutes during that stretch. If he's sidelined Tuesday, Trent Forrest may see a few extra minutes off the bench.
Mar 1, 2024
Scores 12 points off bench Thursday
Bufkin produced 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists in 19 minutes during Thursday's 124-97 loss to the Nets.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin hasn't been a regular part of the Hawks' rotation this season, but the promising floor general had to see minutes off the bench in this one due to the team's lack of depth in the backcourt. His numbers were decent, but the only real reason why he logged minutes was that it was a blowout loss, and this was a good chance to see how he performed at the NBA level following several above-average displays in the G League. Bufkin could stay with Atlanta for a few more days, but he could also return to College Park, as he's spent most of the season with the Skyhawks.
Feb 24, 2024
Called up to Atlanta
Bufkin has been called up to the Hawks on Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Magic.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has delivered solid numbers with College Park at the G League level, averaging 23.6 points, 5.9 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game across 14 appearances. He should add depth to the bench in case Trae Young (finger) ends up being ruled out to face Orlando on Sunday.
Feb 10, 2024
Headed back to NBA
The Hawks recalled Bufkin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will return to the NBA after a short stint in the G League. However, the rookie guard is unlikely to receive significant playing time for the duration of his stay with Atlanta.
Feb 3, 2024
Recalled to Atlanta
Bufkin was recalled from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin should be available for Saturday night's matchup with the Warriors following this transaction. He last appeared for the Hawks on Tuesday, recording three points, one rebound and one assist in two minutes.
Feb 2, 2024
Recalled to NBA
Atlanta recalled Bufkin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will be available for Friday's game against the Suns. He appeared in Tuesday's blowout win over the Lakers, posting three points, one rebound and one assist in two minutes, but that was his first NBA appearance since Oct. 30.
Jan 30, 2024
Recalled from G League
Atlanta recalled Bufkin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin is coming off the best performance of his season with the Skyhawks, as he produced 43 points (12-24 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one turnover in 36 minutes against Ontario on Monday. His services may be needed if Dejounte Murray (hamstring) is downgraded to out.
Jan 20, 2024
Returns to NBA
The Hawks recalled Bufkin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will be available for Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers. The rookie guard has made just two NBA appearances so far this season, but he's been excelling in the G League of late and could crack the rotation if Trae Young (illness) ends up missing a second straight contest.
Jan 3, 2024
Recalled by Atlanta
The Hawks recalled Bufkin from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has performed well in the G League this season, and he'll join the parent club ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder. However, he's made just two appearances for Atlanta this year and is unlikely to see much playing time Wednesday.
Dec 23, 2023
Cleared to play
Bufkin (thumb) has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin fractured his thumb in early November and has been sidelined since. There's no guarantee he sees the floor right away, but the Hawks may need to look his way with Dejounte Murray questionable to play with a forearm contusion.
Dec 23, 2023
Could make return Saturday
Bufkin (thumb) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.
ANALYSIS
After fracturing his left thumb in early November, Bufkin was fully cleared for practice Wednesday and will have his first chance to make a return. While he'll likely have his minutes monitored if available, Bufkin could see more playing time if Dejounte Murray (forearm) sits.
Dec 20, 2023
Returns to full practice
The Hawks announced Wednesday that Bufkin (thumb) has been cleared to return to full team practice, Mike Conti of the Atlanta Hawks Radio Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin sustained a left thumb injury in early November that was expected to sideline him for at least two months, but it's encouraging that he's back at practice in a full capacity. He'll presumably need to work on ramping up before he returns to game action.
Nov 12, 2023
Significant absence expected
Bufkin is expected to miss 8-10 weeks due to his thumb fracture, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin's initial timeline featured a re-evaluation in mid-November, but it appears that the duration of his absence will be much longer. The rookie suffered the injury on Nov. 3, placing his return to game action sometime in January.
Nov 3, 2023
Suffers left thumb fracture
Bufkin sustained a left thumb fracture while practicing with the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Friday and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin wasn't a significant part of Atlanta's rotation early in the regular season and was practicing with the G League club recently to work on his development. However, he'll now be unavailable for at least two weeks. Once he's cleared to return to game action, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 20-year-old ramp up in the G League.
Nov 3, 2023
Rejoins parent club
Bufkin was reassigned to the Hawks on Friday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin was assigned to the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Thursday but will be back with the parent club a day later. He hasn't been part of the rotation in the NBA to begin the year.
Nov 2, 2023
Assigned to G League
The Hawks assigned Bufkin to the College Park Skyhawks of the G League on Thursday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin was the No. 15 overall pick by the Hawks in the 2023 NBA Draft. However, the rookie guard has played just four total minutes across Atlanta's first five games and will be sent down to the G League to aid in his development.
Oct 20, 2023
Returns to bench
Bufkin isn't in the starting five for Friday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin will be replaced by Trae Young in the starting lineup for Friday's season finale. The rookie guard is expected to compete with Patty Mills for the backup point guard role.
Oct 16, 2023
Gets start Monday
Bufkin will start Monday's preseason contest against Indiana, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
With Trae Young and Dejounte Murray both resting, Bufkin will start next to Bogdan Bogdanovic in the backcourt versus the Pacers. Bufkin is competing with veteran Patty Mills for backup minutes behind Young and Murray.
Oct 10, 2023
Struggles from deep in pro debut
Bufkin scored nine points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt), one assist and one rebound over 18 minutes in Tuesday's 108-107 win over the Cavaliers.
ANALYSIS
The 15th overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft struggled with his shooting in the NBA Summer League and that continued in his first preseason game. He also finished with a margin of minus-nine -- the fourth worst on the team -- and a team-leading four personal fouls. Bufkin will look for a better outing Thursday against the Grizzlies at home.
Jul 16, 2023
Scores 18 in loss
Bufkin posted 18 points (7-18 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, one assist, one steal and a block across 23 minutes during Sunday's 101-80 loss to the Mavericks.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin continues to struggle to score efficiently, missing all six of his three-point attempts and shooting 39% from the floor. Despite his offensive struggles, Bufkin showed promise on the defensive end, recording a steal and a block, and taking multiple charges. The 15th overall pick will likely be a depth piece at the guard position for Atlanta to start his rookie campaign.
Jul 12, 2023
Struggles with efficiency
Bufkin amassed 13 points (3-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 99-93 win over the Timberwolves.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin has struggled with his efficiency throughout his Summer League campaign. The Michigan product will likely come off the bench to begin the season and might be eased into a larger role as his efficiency and comfortability at the NBA level increase.
Jul 10, 2023
Scores 17 in win
Bufkin totaled 17 points (6-19 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six assists, five rebounds and a block across 27 minutes in Sunday's 98-93 win over the Nuggets.
ANALYSIS
Bufkin found success from three-point range but struggled to get it going inside the arc, converting just 2-of-9 two-point attempts. Despite his inefficiency, he did well distributing, dishing six assists, and was solid on the boards. Bufkin will likely remain a key piece for Atlanta's Summer League team, and could be a candidate for a bench contributor for the Hawks come the regular season.
