Atlanta Hawks forward Mouhamed Gueye has surgery for a fractured left foot and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. The Hawks announce that Gueye undergoes the procedure on Tuesday after suffering the injury during a workout on July 8. Both reports say the fracture requires a recovery timeline that could affect the start of the 2026-27 NBA season. The team indicates it will provide an updated status in about three to four months, a timeframe that may overlap with the next season’s offseason and early schedule. Gueye is listed at 6-foot-11. Last season, he plays 77 games for Atlanta and averages 4.4 points and 3.6 rebounds, including eight starts. In the prior 2024-25 season, he records averages of 6.0 points and 4.2 rebounds while making 28 starts. The Hawks’ next updates on his recovery are scheduled within the team’s stated three-to-four-month window.
