Displays defensive skills in win Kuminga closed Tuesday's 110-105 victory over the Hornets with 14 points (6-6 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

Impact Kuminga continues to see more work amid the Warriors' rash of injuries, and his defensive contributions have been significant, even though Tuesday's stat line didn't correspond with his impact. When Andrew Wiggins (groin) returns, Kuminga will still play a crucial role, enough to make him fantasy-relevant moving forward.

Jonathan Kuminga is emerging into a defensive force for the Warriors Andrew Wiggins' absence has provided an opening for Kuminga, who has taken a firm grip on a rotation spot with his point-of-attack defense.

Back to bench Kuminga will come off the bench Sunday against the Grizzlies, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

Impact Kuminga drew a spot start in Golden State's last contest, but he'll revert to the bench, as Donte DiVincenzo will return to the starting lineup following a two-game absence due to an illness. As a reserve (25 games), Kuminga has averaged 6.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 15.6 minutes.

Poor performance in start Kuminga accumulated four points (1-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 143-113 loss to the Nets.

Impact Kuminga recorded his lowest point total since Dec. 3, despite playing the most minutes in any game during that span. The second-year forward also posted a season-high four turnovers. Kuminga will likely move back to the bench with Klay Thompson (knee) expected to play in Sunday's matchup with the Grizzlies.

Gets starting nod Kuminga is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

Impact Kuminga will start in place of Klay Thompson (knee) on Wednesday. Kuminga is averaging 14.3 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, one steal and one block in 35.7 minutes across his three starts this season.

Slated to play Tuesday Kuminga (knee) will be good to go Tuesday versus the Knicks, barring a setback in warmups, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Kuminga was limited to just five minutes in the team's last game versus Toronto due to a bothersome left knee, but it appears a couple of days between games have been enough to get his knee in a good spot. Kuminga should supply 20-plus minutes again Tuesday in a bench role.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely available Tuesday Kuminga (knee) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Knicks.

Impact Kuminga played just five minutes off the bench Sunday, his lowest total since Nov. 11. It's unclear if his lack of playing time was due to his current knee issue, or he's fallen out of the rotation. Either way, the second-year forward will likely be available Tuesday, though he figures to be a risky play given his most recent outing.

Not starting Sunday Kuminga will operate off the bench Sunday against Toronto, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Impact Kuminga started Friday's game with Draymond Green (quad) out, but the former will revert back to his reserve role now that the latter is back in the starting lineup. The second-year forward has averaged 10.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists over his past 13 appearances (two starts).

Impact Kuminga got off to a slow start with only five points scored in the first half, but he caught fire in the fourth quarter, dropping 13 points on 4-for-5 from the field and 2-for-3 from beyond the arc.

Logs season-high 24 points Kuminga had 24 points (10-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-123 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Although the Warriors elected to begin the game with JaMychal Green in the starting five, Kuminga emerged from the bench as the best solution in Draymond Green's (hip) absence. The youngster's opportunities have been limited during his second season, a contrast from his rookie campaign during which he distinguished himself in 12 starts amid the Warriors' injury issues. Kuminga's production will continue to be spotty unless the Warriors are short-handed.

Jonathan Kuminga, second unit show signs of improvement but Warriors fall to Mavericks DALLAS — Jonathan Kuminga was benched three times in the first 10 games of the season, leaving the 20-year-old forward to wonder why.

Double-double in loss Tuesday Kuminga had 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Kuminga notched his first double-double of the season, a line that really came out of nowhere. Prior to Tuesday, he had played fewer than 20 minutes in five of the past six games with the only exception being a game in which the Warriors rested their stars. He closed the game in this one, supplanting Kevon Looney. While this could very well be an outlier, it is a situation to monitor should it gain any traction moving forward.
