Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) will play on Thursday versus the Lakers. He took a fall in a recent meeting with the San Antonio Spurs and was ruled out heading into Tuesday's 134-125 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. As a result, Gui Santos saw a few extra minutes and finished the night with four points, six assists, four rebounds, and two steals. It isn't known if Kuminga's minutes will be scaled back in this one. But his presence should mean Santos will only see 15-20 minutes of action.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) won't play on Tuesday versus Memphis. He logged only six minutes in Sunday's win over the San Antonio Spurs before taking a hard fall, suffering a pelvic contusion. As such, it appears there's a chance the 22-year-old could miss more time moving forward. In the meantime, Buddy Hield, coming off a 19-point effort, is the favorite to benefit the most off the bench. Gui Santos and Quinten Post could also see extra work.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) is questionable to play on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 22-year-old left Sunday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs early due to an ankle sprain but is now on the injury report with a right pelvic contusion. Kuminga's absence on Tuesday would open up a nice chunk of bench minutes in the Warriors' rotation. Buddy Hield and Gui Santos are the most likely candidates to fill these minutes. On Sunday, Hield cooked up a nice line in 25 minutes, finishing a blowout victory with 19 points, five rebounds, four assists, and three steals.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Kuminga was forced to exit in the middle of the second quarter after suffering a right ankle injury. The expectation is Kuminga will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. For now, fantasy managers should consider Kuminga as day-to-day, but they should get an update on his status soon. Gui Santos and Buddy Hield should both benefit with more playing time with Kuminga not returning on Sunday.
Jonathan Kuminga Upgraded To Available On Thursday
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Kuminga is available to play after missing the last 31 games due to a right ankle sprain. That being said, Kuminga is going to be eased back into action after a two-month absence. Head coach Steve Kerr didn't say exactly how limited Kuminga would be on Thursday, but it'll likely be short stints during his first game back. Gui Santos figures to lose streaming appeal especially once Kuminga is back up to full speed.
According to Shams Charania of ESPN, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) plans to return to the lineup on Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Kuminga has missed 31 straight games recovering from a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old will be back for the final stretch run of the season. He should provide a boost for fantasy managers waiting for his return. Kuminga averaged 20.5 points in his last 14 outings before suffering the ankle injury.
Jonathan Kuminga Continues To Progress But Still No Timetable On Return
Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports that despite Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) practicing on March 5th, there is still no timetable for his return. "He has to feel right. He has to feel healthy. He has to feel explosive. We can't rush that." Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said that regarding Kuminga. The 22-year-old hasn't played since January 4th due to a right ankle sprain. Golden State will be at home for six games in a row starting Monday against Portland, so fantasy managers should keep an eye on updates, as Kuminga could certainly return before the end of the week.
Jonathan Kuminga Remains Sidelined Monday Against Hornets
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) has been ruled out for the 26th consecutive game on Monday and will not suit up against the Charlotte Hornets. The good news is that he resumed practicing last week, but there hasn't been any official word on a return date yet. In the meantime, Jimmy Butler III (back) has essentially taken over Kuminga's role while Quinten Post (ankle) has seen an uptick in opportunities as well. When Kuminga returns, he may not see the 26.0 minutes per game he was receiving to start the season.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Kings. However, he has resumed practicing. The 22-year-old last played during the win over Memphis on January 4. Unfortunately, he suffered a sprained right ankle, keeping him off the floor for the Warriors' last 21 contests. With the latest update, it appears Kuminga could be back in the lineup soon. But it will likely take him time to return to form once he's cleared. In addition, the arrival of Jimmy Butler could negatively impact Kuminga's contributions in all statistical categories, although fantasy managers should still wait to see how things play out. In the meantime, Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski should continue to see more work.
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is scheduled for a re-evaluation in two weeks. Kuminga has been out since Jan. 4 with an ankle sprain, but the team announced that he is making "good progress." Golden State expects Kuminga to begin light on-court individual workouts in the next week. Based on the update, Kuminga will miss at least eight more games. Moses Moody has taken on a larger role during Kuminga's absence. He has averaged 9.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 23.6 minutes since Kuminga exited the lineup. Moody has scored in double digits in each of his last six appearances.
