Kuminga accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-9 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 112-86 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga continues to make an impact off the bench for the Warriors, and this was the seventh straight game in which he scored in double digits -- despite logging more than 25 minutes just once over that stretch. Kuminga has proven that the injury that sidelined him for 31 contests between Jan. 5 and March 10 is a thing of the past, and he should be a reliable fantasy option for the playoffs, particularly if he continues to hover around the 25-minute mark per game.

Kuminga registered 16 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Saturday's 124-115 loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga has logged six appearances off the bench since returning from a lengthy absence due to a right ankle sprain that caused him to miss 31 contests between Jan. 5 and March 10. Kuminga has been very consistent, scoring in double digits in each game and crossing the 15-point plateau three times. He's averaging 13.8 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.7 steals across 23.2 minutes per game in that span.

Kuminga closed Thursday's 117-114 victory over the Raptors with 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench.
EDGE Analysis
In his fifth game back from an ankle injury that cost him over two months of action, Kuminga delivered another steady scoring effort from the second unit. The fourth-year forward is averaging 13.4 points, 3.4 boards, 3.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 23.4 minutes since rejoining the lineup, but Kuminga's workload and usage could be set to increase if Stephen Curry (pelvis) ends up missing more time after checking out of Thursday's game early.

Kuminga (ankle) registered 18 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 20 minutes off the bench in Thursday's 130-104 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga produced an efficient performance during his return from a 31-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward operated under a minutes restriction, though he made the most of his limited run, scoring 18-plus for the 15th time across 33 appearances. The club will likely continue to work Kuminga back gradually after an extended absence, and it wouldn't come as a surprise if he remains with the second unit for at least a few more games.

Head coach Steve Kerr said that Kuminga (ankle) will operate under an unspecified minutes restriction in Thursday's game against Sacramento, Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kerr relayed that Kuminga is "not going to play a huge number of minutes" during his return from a 31-game absence due to a right ankle sprain. The 22-year-old forward will likely play in short bursts, as the club is expected to gradually work him back to full playing form. Kuminga averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 26.0 minutes per contest in 32 regular-season appearances before the injury.

Kuminga (ankle) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga is trending toward returning to the floor Thursday for the Warriors after missing the last 31 games with a right ankle sprain. Prior to suffering the injury, the 22-year-old averaged 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, which are all career-high numbers, shooting 45.9 percent from the field and 34.5 percent from beyond the arc.

Kuminga is planning to get back on the floor for the Warriors on Thursday against the Kings, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga has missed 31 consecutive games for Golden State while dealing with a sprained right ankle. The team has been on a roll since trading for Jimmy Butler, and the addition of the 22-year-old forward will only make this squad that much deeper in the final stretch of the regular season.

The Warriors are hopeful that Kuminga (ankle) will return later in the week, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The team has been reluctant to put a concrete timetable on Kuminga's return, but that changed Monday during coach Steve Kerr's pre-game presser. Golden State will play Thursday against the Kings and Saturday against the Knicks, so if all goes well during the week, the 22-year-old will have a few chances to make his return following a lengthy absence due to a right ankle sprain. Kuminga hasn't seen any game action since Jan. 4.

Kuminga (ankle) was able to scrimmage at Golden State's practice March 5, but he remains without a timetable to return, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
"He has to feel right," coach Steve Kerr said. "He has to feel healthy. He has to feel explosive. We can't rush that." Kuminga has not played since Jan. 4 due to a right ankle sprain, though there's a chance he could return to action Thursday against the Kings or at least sometime during the Warriors' upcoming six-game homestand.
