Hawks Set Gueye Reevaluation in Four Weeks
Mouhamed Gueye is progressing to on-court activities after surgery on a fractured left foot, the team said.
Updated on Nov. 13, 2026 in Basketball
The Atlanta Hawks said forward Mouhamed Gueye will be reevaluated in about four weeks for a fractured left foot. It is the team's first official update on Gueye since July, and his return is not imminent.
Why it matters
Gueye's timeline affects Atlanta's depth and rotation as the season moves forward. His non-guaranteed contract also leaves his roster future open until the league-wide guarantee date in January.
Gueye averaged 4.4 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.8 steals across 77 regular season appearances in 2025/26, playing 15.3 minutes per game. He is earning about $2.4 million this season on a non-guaranteed contract, and the Hawks have not said whether he will return this season.
The players
Mouhamed Gueye
Gueye is a forward drafted 39th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in 2023 who has been working back from foot surgery.
Atlanta Hawks
The Atlanta Hawks are an NBA franchise based in Atlanta that announced the update on Gueye's recovery.
The details
Gueye had surgery to address a fractured left foot sustained in an offseason workout, and the Hawks announced in July that he would be reevaluated three to four months after surgery. The team's latest update says he is now progressing to on-court activities, with the next reevaluation about four weeks away.
Timeline
July 2026: Hawks announced reevaluation three to four months after surgery.
2025/26 season: Gueye appeared in 77 regular season games.
November 13, 2026: Hawks gave the latest update on Gueye.
About four weeks after November 13, 2026: Gueye is scheduled for reevaluation.
January 2027: League-wide guarantee date for non-guaranteed contracts.
Season Trajectory
Gueye's recovery timeline sits within the Hawks' effort to manage depth through a long NBA season and his non-guaranteed deal faces the league's January guarantee date. Whether he returns in time to affect the rotation will shape how Atlanta approaches its roster decisions this year.
Gueye's non-guaranteed contract means fantasy managers and Hawks followers should track his reevaluation closely, since a return would affect Atlanta's frontcourt rotation. His status also determines whether he remains on the roster past the January guarantee date.
The takeaway
Injury timelines in the NBA often hinge on reevaluation results rather than initial estimates, so readers should watch for the next official update. Gueye's situation shows how a non-guaranteed contract can make a player's roster future uncertain even when he is progressing in his recovery.
What happens next
Gueye is scheduled to be reevaluated by the Hawks in about four weeks from November 13, 2026, and the league-wide guarantee date for non-guaranteed contracts arrives in January 2027.
