Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: No timetable for return
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr said Sunday that Kuminga (knee) didn't participate much in practice, and he isn't sure when the forward will play next, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He has also been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, according to Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area.
Kuminga will miss his sixth consecutive game due to bilateral knee tendinitis, and Kerr said he's "not moving well," per Joseph Dycus of The Mercury News. Based on Kerr's comments, the 23-year-old can be considered week-to-week moving forward. With Kuminga sidelined, Moses Moody, Gui Santos and Buddy Hield are candidates for increased minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Remains out for Sunday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.
Kuminga will miss his second consecutive game Sunday, and it's not a great sign for him if he's being ruled out a day in advance. The 23-year-old forward is battling soreness in both knees, so the Warriors will likely proceed with caution.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Kuminga will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr will be making significant adjustments to the rotation Wednesday evening, and it sounds like Kuminga's minutes will be getting cut, making him a risky guy to deploy in daily fantasy leagues. He hasn't cleared the 30-minute mark since Nov. 5.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Available to play
Rotowire
Kuminga (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr stated during Wednesday's pregame media availability that he was planning to adjust his rotations following Tuesday's blowout loss to the Thunder, and he acknowledged that he's considered sending Kuminga to the second unit. It'll be interesting to see what Kuminga's playing time looks like Wednesday, but his minutes have been trending in the wrong direction for several games.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scores team-high 13 points
Rotowire
Kuminga amassed 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), four assists, three rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 loss to the Thunder.
The Warriors struggled so much on offense against the reigning champions that Kuminga led the team in scoring despite not reaching the 15-point plateau. This was also a bounce-back effort for Kuminga, who was coming off posting three single-digit scoring performances across his last four outings. Kuminga has reached the 15-point mark on six different occasions this season, so he certainly has the talent to deliver better numbers on offense going forward, and he should remain a valuable fantasy contributor as long as he remains in a starting role.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Quiet again in win
Rotowire
Kuminga racked up five points (1-9 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 114-83 victory over the Pacers.
Kuminga has now scored less than 10 points in consecutive contests and three of his last four, which is concerning considering Jimmy Butler and Stephen Curry missed time in that stretch. Sunday's game can be excused due to the blowout nature of the game that resulted in starters getting pulled early, but Kuminga needs to be more consistent offensively moving forward after starting the season averaging 17.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in his first nine games.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scores nine in win
Rotowire
Kuminga produced nine points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 victory over the Suns.
Kuminga has scored less than 10 points only twice this season following Tuesday night, but he's still averaging 16.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.3 threes made over 30.3 minutes. With Stephen Curry (illness) out and Jimmy Butler (back) questionable on the second leg of a back-to-back, Kuminga may find himself in an even more prominent role Wednesday against the Kings.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Posts 24-8-4 line in loss
Rotowire
Kuminga produced 24 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and five turnovers in 34 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Bucks.
This was a nice bounce-back performance from Kuminga, who was held to just nine points on 4-11 shooting his last time out. Aside from Tuesday's lackluster performance, Kuminga has looked good this season, posting averages of 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 triples per contest on 55/45/83 shooting splits. That has him operating with mid-round value on the year, so he should be rostered in all leagues.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Solid production in Portland
Rotowire
Kuminga provided 16 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 139-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.
After finally working out a contract extension with the Warriors just prior to the start of the season, Kuminga has handled a big role. Friday's minutes were a product of the blowout nature of the contest, but the fifth-year forward still delivered strong numbers, scoring at least 14 points for the third straight game. Kuminga's averaging 15.7 points, 7.3 boards, 4.0 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.0 steal in 31.0 minutes so far while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor, but that production has come while Al Horford is being eased into the lineup with Golden State, coming off the bench in his first two appearances and then sitting out Friday on the second night of a back-to-back.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Available vs. Portland
Rotowire
Kuminga (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Kuminga was listed as probable for this game, and the small forward will suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. He recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime win over the Nuggets.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Drops 14 points in starting role
Rotowire
Kuminga provided 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime win over the Nuggets.
Kuminga's role in the starting lineup will be key to Golden State's success this season, but the fifth-year pro needs to demonstrate more consistency and realize his upside potential. The Warriors finally got him under contract in camp, and this season could be his last opportunity if he doesn't step up. His near double-double in the first game of the season was a positive step, but he needs to maintain solid point and rebound results to maximize his fantasy worthiness.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Kuminga finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 victory over the Lakers.
Kuminga played through a recent ankle injury, falling one rebound short of a double-double. It was an encouraging performance given the offseason drama, with the fact that he played 33 minutes perhaps the biggest positive. Depending on the matchup, we could see head coach Steve Kerr shuffle the starting rotation from one game to the next, meaning Kuminga's role could be somewhat fluid.

Kuminga (ankle) is available and starting in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
After missing Friday's preseason loss to the Clippers due to an ankle issue, Kuminga will get the starting nod in Tuesday's regular-season opener.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Tracking to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Kuminga (ankle) is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. Kuminga is officially listed as probable.
Kuminga rolled his ankle during Tuesday's preseason contest and sat out the Warriors' final exhibition Friday, but head coach Steve Kerr indicated that the 23-year-old should be ready for the regular-season opener. The 2021 first-round pick averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.3 minutes over 47 regular-season appearances (10 starts) last season and will look to build on that with a strong 2025-26 campaign after a drawn-out contract saga this offseason.
