Atlanta Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye could miss the start of the 2026-27 season after having surgery for a fractured left foot suffered in a workout, as reported by [AP News](https://apnews.com/article/hawks-gueye-injury-a647bc1a160eef53ca553f28273aaca0).
The Hawks announced on Wednesday that Gueye had the surgery on Tuesday after suffering the injury on July 8. The 6-foot-11 Gueye averaged 4.4 points and 3.6 rebounds for Atlanta last season, playing in 77 games including eight starts, after averaging 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in the 2024-25 season.
The Hawks say Gueye's status will be updated in three to four months, a timeline which could overlap the start of next season. The loss of the young forward could impact Atlanta's frontcourt rotation.
