Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Bufkin (shoulder) will be ready for training camp, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. 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 to start training camp. 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.

Hawks general manager Landry Fields said Bufkin (shoulder) will be ready for training camp, Kevin Chouinard of the Hawks' official site reports. 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 to start training camp. 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.
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. 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.
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 win over the Bulls. 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.
Bufkin (toe) is available to face the Bulls on Monday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. 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.
Bufkin (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports. 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.
Bufkin (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Milwaukee. 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.
The Hawks announced Thursday that Bufkin (toe) is making progress in his re-habilitation and will be re-evaluated in 7-10 days. 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.
The Hawks announced Thursday that Bufkin has been diagnosed with a left big toe sprain and will be in a walking boot for the next 10 days before being re-evaluated, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Bufkin has already missed Atlanta's previous two contests due to a left big toe sprain, and his absence looks as though it'll now extended into the second half of March. Trent Forrest should continue to hold down a rotation spot in Bufkin's absence.
Bufkin (toe) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. Bufkin will miss his second straight game due to left big toe soreness. Trent Forrest will likely serve as the Hawks' backup point guard in Bufkin's stead after drawing 11 minutes in Tuesday's 116-100 win over the Knicks.
