Kuminga (back) participated in practice Wednesday and is expected to be available for Thursday's game against the Grizzlies, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. He is off the injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga sustained a back injury in Monday's game against Sacramento, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be forced to miss any additional time. He took on a starting role in each of the last two games, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim a bench role since the Warriors had several players return to the court recently.

Kuminga is questionable to return to Monday's game against Sacramento due to back tightness, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga left the game in the second quarter and wasn't seen on the bench to start the second half. Juan Toscano-Anderson should see an uptick in minutes the rest of the way if Kuminga is unable to return.

Kuminga closed with 26 points (9-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 119-100 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga made the first start of his career and couldn't have gone any better, as he took full advantage of the fact that the Warriors rested most of their starters to deliver the best game of his young NBA career. The promising rookie showed why he was considered one of the highest-upside players in the 2021 class, but when the Warriors are at full strength he's typically relegated to garbage-time minutes. With Klay Thompson's (Achilles) return on the horizon, Kuminga's role is unlikely to change anytime soon.

Kuminga will start Saturday's game against the Raptors, Monte Poole of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors are sitting most of the regulars, so the rookie will get the first start of his career. Per 36 minutes, he's averaging 16.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals.

Kuminga was recalled by the Warriors on Friday.

Kuminga tallied 25 points (11-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block during Wednesday's win over Agua Caliente.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga finished with his third straight performance of reaching the 21-point mark, as the No. 7 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft mustered 50 percent overall shooting from the field despite draining just 25 percent from deep. Kuminga has recorded at least 12 points in five G League matchups so far this season, and the forward also tallied one double-double Dec. 3 against South Bay.

Kuminga recorded 27 points (11-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals during Friday's loss to South Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga led the team both offensively and on the boards across 32 minutes, as the rookie posted his first double-double in the G League this year. In three matchups with Santa Cruz, Kuminga has posted at least 12 points and has grabbed 7.0 rebounds per matchup.

Kuminga was assigned to the Santa Cruz Warriors on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kuminga carved out a minimal role (6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds across 12.8 minutes per game) in Golden State's rotation for five games in mid-November, but he has played just 15 minutes over his last three appearances and did not play at all in their 104-96 loss to the Suns on Tuesday. The Warriors will likely want to get their rookie some extended run while he is with Santa Cruz.
