JONATHAN KUMINGA NEWS

Returning to reserve role Kuminga is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Suns, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

Impact Kuminga made his fourth start of the season Wednesday against the Thunder, finishing with 19 points, four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes. However, with Stephen Curry (knee) returning from a one-game absence, Kuminga will retreat to the bench Saturday as the Warriors go with the starting lineup of Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis.

Available to play Saturday Kuminga (illness) is available to play Saturday against the Suns.

Impact Kuminga was deemed as probable Friday, so his availability for this matchup isn't entirely surprising. The forward has been a regular option off the bench for head coach Steve Kerr, but he started in the loss against the Thunder on Wednesday. He's averaging 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game since the beginning of November.

Expected to play Saturday Kuminga (illness) is listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Logs 19 points in return Kuminga totaled 19 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 105-101 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Kuminga returned to action after battling an illness, and his insertion moved Andrew Wiggins over to the four and Draymond Green to center. This scheme represents Steve Kerr's small-ball approach that he utilized with success earlier in the season, but it wasn't as effective with Isaiah Hartenstein's imposing presence in the paint. Barring an injury or another illness, Kuminga should retain his role in the starting lineup moving forward.

Ruled out Saturday Kuminga (illness) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Michael C. Wright of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Kuminga was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, and it appears to be serious enough for him to not play Saturday.

Scores 12 points off bench Kuminga registered 12 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and three steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 102-99 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Kuminga has played off the bench in each of Golden State's last 10 games, and he continues to find ways to remain productive. The fourth-year forward is averaging 15.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game when deployed with the second unit. That's far from the pre-season expectations many had on Kuminga, as he was tipped to have a breakout season in 2024-25, but it's been enough to keep him relevant in fantasy, even if he doesn't perform on the same level as his ADP.

Logs 16 points from bench Kuminga chipped in 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Kuminga remains with the second unit after struggling as a starter for the firs three games of the season. While he's made up for the early shortcomings with admirable totals from the bench, coach Steve Kerr appears to prefer Kuminga's current spot in the rotation. Andrew Wiggins has exceeded early expectations, which is one reason for Kuminga's demotion.

Impact Kuminga saw extended playing time off the bench Friday as the Warriors found themselves down by 41 points at halftime.

Impact Kuminga's minutes noticeably diminished, but it didn't prevent him from scoring in double figures for a sixth straight appearance.

Kuminga has held down a reserve role in Golden State's last five games.
