Kuminga will start Monday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga gets a rare start Monday night with the Warriors electing to give most of the starting five a night to rest. This marks his first start since Nov. 4 against New Orleans when he dropped 18 points to go with four boards, two assists, two steals and a block in 38 minutes.

Kuminga (illness) said that he is feeling much better and looks forward to playing in Friday's game against the Knicks, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga missed Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a non-COVID illness. Kuminga is averaging 5.2 points and 1.8 rebounds in 14.1 minutes across 11 games in 2022-23.

Kuminga (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga sat out for Wednesday's loss to the Suns due to a non-COVID illness, and it's unclear if he'll take the floor Friday against New York. If Kuminga remains sidelined, Anthony Lamb and JaMychal Green should continue to see increased usage in the Warriors' frontcourt.

Kuminga (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

EDGE Analysis

With Kuminga out, Jamychal Green, Moses Moody and Anthony Lamb are candidates for extended frontcourt minutes. Kuminga's next opportunity to play will be in Friday's matchup with the Knicks.

Kuminga is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga's status for Wednesday's matchup is at risk after coming down with an illness. The forward will likely be a game-time call, and news confirming his status against the Suns should surface around tipoff.

Kuminga closed with 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 25 minutes during Monday's 132-95 victory over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Steve Kerr mentioned Kuminga as one of several players who will see an increased role moving forward, and Monday represented the first instance of that, with Kuminga logging a season-high 25 minutes off the bench. He recorded 18 points in 38 minutes as a starter when most of the team took the night off 10 days ago, and these two games are the only contests in which the 2021 first-round pick scored in double digits.

Kuminga is expected to have a bigger role in Golden State's rotation going forward, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga averaged 10.8 minutes in his first six contests of the 2022-23 season, but he logged 38 minutes in his team's last game Friday against the Pelicans and is expected to be more involved in his team's upcoming matchups, according to head coach Steve Kerr. Draymond Green and Kevon Looney could lose a few minutes of playing time with Kuminga set to see more action, though Kuminga will continue to come off the bench.

Kuminga closed Friday's 114-105 loss to the Pelicans with 18 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga took full advantage of a favorable situation Friday, putting up season-high numbers across multiple categories. The Warriors opted to give most of their starting unit the night off, allowing Kuminga to step into a much larger role. Given he had failed to score more than four points in any game this season prior to Friday, he can safely be ignored in all moderately shallow formats.

Kuminga will start Friday's game against the Pelicans, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unsurprisingly, Kuminga will start as the Warriors' regulars get the night off. The second-year forward has gotten off to a slow start this season, but he's averaged 19.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists per 36 minutes for his career.

The Warriors exercised Kuminga's $6.01 million team option for the 2023-24 season Monday, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga has had inconsistent playing time for Golden State early in the year, as he's averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game over six appearances. However, he'll still have his third-year option picked up by the team ahead of Monday's deadline.
