Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder, the team announced Wednesday.
The surgery to address “right shoulder instability” is scheduled for Jan. 7.
In October, the team announced Bufkin had partially dislocated his right shoulder for the second time. He had missed summer league due to a similar injury.
His first professional season after a promising Michigan career was also interrupted by injuries including a thumb fracture and a big toe sprain that kept him out of all but 17 games.
Bufkin, 20, was the 15th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. He averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 10 games (zero starts) this season.
