Gueye won't start Monday's game against the Clippers, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Leads Atlanta in start
Rotowire
Gueye amassed 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes in Saturday's 122-102 win over the Lakers.
Gueye got the starting nod for the injury-plagued Hawks, posting a team- and career-high 21 points. He also knocked down four three-pointers for just the second time in his career. Additionally, the 22-year-old dished out a career-high mark in assists after totaling eight in his first nine regular-season appearances. He'll likely continue to provide a spark off the bench, though Gueye is a likely candidate to step into the starting five whenever Jalen Johnson (quadriceps) is sidelined.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Flirts with double-double in win
Rotowire
Gueye produced 13 points (5-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and three turnovers in 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 111-107 win over Orlando.
Gueye got some extended run in this one with Kristaps Porzingis (illness) unavailable and both Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu dealing with foul trouble, and he made the most out of the opportunity. He brought some great energy and grit to the second unit, but it's worth noting he only saw five minutes off the bench in the season opener when Porzingis was healthy. There's a lot of talent here, but he's currently buried on the depth chart.

Rotowire
Gueye totaled 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-95 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.
Gueye was a bright spot in a disappointing overall showing from the Hawks. The forward offers solid per-minute upside in fantasy, but he's seen just 21.4 minutes over his last five outings. In that span, Gueye has posted averages of 7.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks on 56.5 percent shooting from the field.

Rotowire
Gueye notched two points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 17 minutes during Sunday's 122-114 loss to the Nets.
Gueye posted a dud of a fantasy line Sunday, but his fantasy managers should consider cutting him some slack. Over his last seven outings, Gueye has been a top-100 fantasy player in nine-category formats in just 19.2 minutes with 7.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.7 blocks.

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Back with parent club
Rotowire
The Hawks recalled Gueye from the G League's College Park Skyhawks on Monday.
Gueye will rejoin the Hawks for Monday's game in Orlando after he had been assigned to the G League ahead of Saturday's 125-111 win over the Wizards. The Hawks chose to hold the second-year big man out Saturday because he had already seen significant playing time in both of the previous two days, as he logged 34 minutes for College Park in Thursday's win over the Birmingham Squadron before joining Atlanta and producing 15 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks and two steals in 23 minutes in Friday's win over the Bucks. In the wake of his big performance Friday, Gueye may have made a case for a more permanent spot in the rotation, though he likely won't be in line for major minutes in Monday's game in any case since the Hawks have all of their key forwards and centers available aside from Jalen Johnson (shoulder).

Hawks' Mouhamed Gueye: Drops 11 points in spot start
Rotowire
Gueye racked up 11 points (5-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-96 loss to Houston.
Gueye was unexpectedly named a starter Tuesday, filling in for Zaccharie Risacher, who was resting on the second night of a back-to-back. It was the first start of Gueye's career and just the fourth time he has appeared in a game all season. There is no reason to think he will step into a consistent role assuming the Hawks can stay relatively healthy.
