Kuminga (ankle) has resumed on-court workouts and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Kuminga will not return to game action before the All-Star break due to a right ankle sprain. However, the 22-year-old has been ramping up in on-court workouts and could return as soon as Feb. 21 against the Kings. Kuminga appeared in 32 regular-season outings (10 starts) prior to his extended absence, averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per game.

The Warriors announced Monday that Kuminga (ankle) will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga has missed the last 11 games for the Warriors, and head coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that the forward wasn't close to a return. The Warriors did announce that Kuminga is making good progress, however, and he is expected to begin light on-court individual workouts within the next week. Based on his re-evaluation date, the earliest possible return would be Feb. 12 against the Mavericks.

Head coach Steve Kerr said Saturday that Kuminga is not close to returning from a right ankle sprain that he suffered in early January, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga suffered a lateral right ankle sprain against the Grizzlies on Jan. 4. He hasn't progressed in his recovery as well as hoped, and Kerr relayed that Kuminga has recently been working on stationary shooting and riding an exercise bike. Moses Moody has been the biggest beneficiary of Kuminga's absence in terms of playing time, and the former should continue to see meaningful minutes off the bench due to the latter's absence.

Kuminga (ankle) wasn't wearing a walking boot Wednesday but remains in the middle stages of his recovery, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga suffered a significant lateral right ankle sprain Jan. 4 and was set for re-evaluation three weeks after the injury. He had been wearing a walking boot since but was spotted Wednesday without it for the first time. Kuminga is still not close to returning and the update doesn't necessarily mean he's ahead of schedule. However, it's worth noting he has been making progression in his recovery.

Kuminga will be re-evaluated in three weeks for a right-ankle sprain that he suffered during the Warriors' 121-113 win over the Grizzlies on Saturday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, and Slater relays that the updated injury timeline will keep the fourth-year forward out for at least the next 11 games. It's possible that Kuminga could return before the All-Star week, but that will depend on how he progresses in his recovery. Kyle Anderson, Moses Moody, Buddy Hield and Lindy Waters are all candidates to see increased playing time for as long as Kuminga is sidelined.

Kuminga is dealing with a significant right ankle sprain and will miss some time, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, but he could be looking at an extended absence. He'll undergo an MRI on Sunday, at which point fantasy managers will have a bit more clarity. In the short term, guys like Kyle Anderson, Moses Moody and Lindy Waters could potentially step into larger roles. A clearer timetable for a potential return date could be available after Kuminga, who left the arena on crutches Saturday, gets an MRI, which is the next step for him, according to Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com.

Kuminga won't return to Saturday's game against the Grizzlies with a right ankle sprain, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He finished with 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three turnovers in 19 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga landed awkwardly on his right ankle a couple minutes before halftime. He had a pretty significant limp and stayed in the back during halftime to apply ice. He should be considered questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Kings. If he can't go, guys like Lindy Waters and Moses Moody could see more minutes.

Kuminga left Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies with 2:27 left in the second quarter after an awkward landing, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga appeared to tweak his ankle and limped to the locker room. Until the Warriors provide an update, fantasy managers should consider him questionable to return.

Kuminga contributed 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Thursday's 139-105 win over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
With his 20-point effort Thursday, Kuminga extended his streak to 16 consecutive games in double-digit scoring figures. During that span, the former first-rounder is averaging 20.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.7 steals and 1.4 threes in 29.8 minutes. Kuminga is shooting just 66.0 percent from the charity stripe over this frame, however, so he remains a more appealing fantasy option in points leagues despite righting the ship after a slow start to the season.

Kuminga ended Monday's 113-95 loss to the Cavaliers with 18 points (4-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-14 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Most of the starting five struggled during Monday's loss, but Kuminga had a successful night against Cleveland's interior. The duo of Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kuminga limited Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen to only 19 points and 16 rebounds combined, which is excellent considering the duo's usual production. Deficiencies elsewhere in the lineup torpedoed the team's chances, but the successful night inside is a good sign amid the Warriors' current slump.
