Kuminga will come off the bench for Friday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga started the Warriors' last two preseason games, and he totaled 10 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and an assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's win over the Trail Blazers. However, he'll return to the bench for Friday's preseason finale and should continue to play a depth role once the regular season begins next week.

Kuminga will get the start in place of Draymond Green (personal) on Saturday versus the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga logged a team-high 26 minutes in the preseason opener versus the Wizards in Japan and could be in line for a bigger workload during Sunday's clash as well. It's unclear when Green will rejoin the club, though he's not expected to miss significant regular-season time.

Kuminga contributed six points (1-4 FG, 4-6 FT), three assists and one rebound in 26 minutes during Friday's preseason game against the Wizards in Japan.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga came off the bench for Friday's contest, but he managed to lead the team in minutes and finished second in plus-minus (plus-12) behind only James Wiseman (plus-14). Kuminga's performance wasn't flawless, however, as he also recorded four turnovers. The forward should continue to be a quality depth piece for the Warriors in 2022-23 after several strong performances in Summer League.

Kuminga posted 29 points (11-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), two rebounds, one steal and one block in 27 minutes during Tuesday's Summer League loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga has posted 57 points across his past two Summer League appearances. The cherry on top of the second-year pro's performance was that he committed only one turnover. It's possible Golden State will consider sitting him out of caution for the remainder of exhibition play.

Kuminga finished Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Spurs with 28 points (10-22 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-18 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 26 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

After struggling against the Knicks on Friday (four points, 2-10 FG), Kuminga bounced back in a big way, serving as the clear alpha dog for the Warriors with Moses Moody sitting out. While he struggled at the line and committed five turnovers, Kuminga took over late in the game and hit what ended up being the game-winning free throw with under 10 seconds remaining.

Kuminga racked up 17 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 loss to Dallas in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga was one of the most productive players for Golden State in this loss, as he ended just two boards away from posting a double-double and finished as the team's second-highest scorer despite playing slightly over 20 minutes. This was the first time Kuminga scored in double digits off the bench during the current playoff run, but it's worth noting he has done that in three of his last five appearances overall.

Kuminga will return to a reserve role for Friday's Game 6 against the Grizzlies, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga will be replaced in the starting lineup be Kevon Looney. He has averaged 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 15.3 minutes in five games this series.

Kuminga produced 17 points (7-16 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 134-95 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga played only five minutes and didn't score in Game 4, so his 17-point effort in Game 5 was a nice bounce back. However, the forward missed all five of his three-point attempts and didn't contribute much in the way of peripheral stats as Golden State was handed a massive defeat. Most of Kuminga's minutes Wednesday came in garbage time, so it will be interesting to see how he's used in a critical Game 6 on Friday.

Kuminga supplied one rebound, one assist and one block in five minutes during Monday's 101-98 victory over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

While Kuminga logged his second straight start with Gary Payton (elbow) sidelined, coach Steve Kerr went away from the rookie after his initial, five-minute stint to begin the game. This was a departure from what we saw in Game 3, when Kuminga played 18 minutes and finished with 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting with two rebounds.

Kuminga accumulated 18 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Saturday's 142-112 win over the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Although Kuminga only played 18 minutes, the rookie now figures to be a real difference-maker aa the Warriors make a run for the title. The 19-year-old needs more seasoning at the pro level, but he rose to the occasion as Gary Payton's (elbow) replacement in the blowout win, sinking 80 percent of his shots. His 6-7 frame gives Golden State's undersized lineup an added dimension, and with Payton out indefinitely, Kuminga will likely continue to own a starting role.
