Ejected vs. Minnesota
Gueye was ejected during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against Minnesota, Chris Hine of the Minnesota Star Tribune reports. He'll exit with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds over 20 minutes.
Analysis
Gueye's productive night off the bench came to an abrupt end after he and Naz Reid were involved in a heated scuffle at the 11:52 mark of the fourth quarter, resulting in both players being ejected. Onyeka Okongwu, Jock Landale and Asa Newell will handle the post minutes the rest of the way Monday.

Drops out of rotation Saturday
Gueye (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Saturday in the Hawks' 126-119 loss to the Hornets.
Analysis
The second-year big man had appeared in each of the Hawks' last 17 games, but he saw that streak come to an end Saturday while head coach Quin Snyder went with Jock Landale and Asa Newell as the reserve options in the frontcourt as starting center Onyeka Okongwu (dental fracture) made his return from a four-game absence. While Gueye could supplant Newell as the team's preferred backup option at power forward in future games, the eventual return of Jonathan Kuminga (knee) at some point after the All-Star break will likely leave both Gueye and Newell outside of the rotation when Atlanta is at full strength.
