Gueye (elbow) recorded zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound over four minutes in Saturday's 142-110 loss to the Nuggets.
Gueye checked in for Jalen Johnson with 3:43 remaining in the fourth quarter and played the rest of the game as the Hawks essentially conceded defeat in the blowout loss. The late cameo marked Gueye's first appearance for Atlanta since Oct. 30, after he missed extended time first due to a stress fracture in his back and more recently due to a UCL sprain in his right elbow. He should be active for Atlanta the rest of the season, though he may need at least one of Johnson, Clint Capela, De'Andre Hunter or Bruno Fernando to miss time before he's included in the rotation.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Solid numbers off bench
Rotowire
Gueye had 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and a steal across 17 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 103-102 preseason win over the Grizzlies.
The 39th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft is not expected to see regular rotation minutes once the regular season begins, and the most likely scenario for him will be to open the season in the G League. That said, he showed flashes of his potential in this one and is likely to continue seeing minutes in the preseason.
