Fifteenth choice of the Draft, Kobe Bufkin is going to have a hard time finding a place in the Hawks rotation, and unfortunately, it’s going to take even longer since he fractured his left thumb. While he has only scored one small point since the start of the season, the former Michigan fullback was injured while training Thursday with the College Park Skyhawks, the Hawks’ G-League team.
THE medical staff indicates that his injury will be re-evaluated in two weeks, and it is not certain that he will be immediately available since he has not had surgery. Even if the fracture heals, there will be some fragility for a few weeks, and we wouldn’t be surprised if he has to wear protection. Not ideal for scoring your first career basket.
