The Warriors extended a $7.9 million qualifying offer to Kuminga on Saturday, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move will make Kuminga a restricted free agent. Per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Kuminga is seeking a deal that pays him over $30 million per year, but the Warriors have the flexibility to match any offer made to the 2021 first-rounder. Kuminga had a rocky regular season and got inconsistent playing time, but he had a more prominent role during the Warriors' first-round playoff series loss against the Timberwolves. He averaged 24.3 points on 55.4 percent shooting, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals over 31.0 minutes over the final four games of that series.

Kuminga supplied 26 points (11-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga certainly had a rollercoaster of a season considering he was in and out of coach Steve Kerr's rotation, but he went out with a bang. In his last four playoff appearances, Kuminga averaged 24.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per game. Kuminga will now enter restricted free agency with his future very much uncertain based on Kerr's usage of the forward at times.

Kuminga logged 23 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-12 FT), one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga continues to play well for the short-handed Warriors, leading the team with 23 points. While his recent play has been encouraging, the same cannot be said for the team as a whole. Golden State now trails 3-1 with the series shifting back to Minnesota for Game 5. If Stephen Curry (hamstring) is unavailable once again, Kuminga will likely assume a larger role.

Kuminga finished with 30 points (11-18 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 36 minutes during Saturday's 102-97 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

The Warriors needed Kuminga to provide an offensive boost in this game, and he delivered a breakout performance while easily leading Golden State's second unit in scoring. Kuminga is expected to continue seeing an uptick in minutes for as long as Stephen Curry (hamstring) remains sidelined, affording him a optimistic short-term fantasy outlook in all formats.

Kuminga recorded 18 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Thursday's 117-93 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

With Stephen Curry (hamstring) out, Kuminga led Golden State in scoring despite coming off the bench in Game 2. With Curry set to miss a few more games due to injury, Kuminga and the Warriors' other role players will likely be relied upon to continue shouldering an increased offensive load.

Kuminga provided zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one steal across seven minutes during Sunday's 103-89 victory over the Rockets in Game 7 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga returned to the lineup for Game 7, although his boxscore tells a different story. It's been a tale of woe for Kuninga thus far during the playoffs, dealing with an illness while also seemingly out of favor with the coaching staff. Based on how little we saw from him during the first round, it's hard to think he will play any sort of meaningful role against the Timberwolves.

Kuminga's return to the Warriors' rotation is possible for Sunday's game, according to head coach Steve Kerr, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga has not played in four of the last six games in the first round of the NBA playoffs, as he has been dealing with an illness and seems to have fallen out of favor with the coaching staff. However, with the season on the line heading into Game 7, there's a chance he gets some time on the floor. In the two games the 22-year-old has played in this series, he averaged 9.0 points. 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, shooting 36.8 percent from the field.

Kuminga (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's Game 6 against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga is set to return to action after being a late scratch in Wednesday's Game 5 loss due to an illness. The 22-year-old forward didn't play in Game 4 due to Jimmy Butler (pelvis) returning from a one-game absence, meaning Kuminga isn't guaranteed significant playing time in Game 6.

Kuminga has been downgraded to out for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Rockets due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga is a late scratch Wednesday after not being listed on Golden State's initial injury report, and he can labeled day-to-day going forward. The 2021 first-rounder has been out of the rotation altogether in two of the Warriors' four postseason games, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact for Game 5. That said, Quinten Post's role off the bench does become more solidified with Kuminga sidelined.

Kuminga won't start in Monday's Game 4 against the Rockets, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jimmy Butler (pelvis) will return to game action Monday, pushing Kuminga to the second unit. The 22-year-old forward has made two appearances (one start) during the first round, averaging 9.0 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 21.5 minutes per game.
