Kuminga (ankle) won't play in Friday's preseason game against the Clippers, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga rolled his ankle in Tuesday's win over Portland and will miss the Warriors' preseason finale. However, head coach Steve Kerr said the 23-year-old forward's absence is precautionary, and he's expected to play in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers, according to Dalton Johnson of NBC Sports Bay Area.

Kuminga was ejected in the second quarter of Tuesday's preseason game against the Trail Blazers after being assessed two technical fouls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga took exception to a no-call in the final seconds of the first half and was ejected. He'll finish with seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and four assists across 18 minutes. His final chance to suit up during the preseason will come Friday against the Clippers.

Kuminga finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists and one steal in 22 minutes during Sunday's preseason loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga moved into the starting lineup after Stephen Curry (undisclosed), Moses Moody (calf), Jimmy Butler (personal) and Al Horford (rest) were all given the night off. Following an offseason filled with uncertainty, Kuminga will now shift his focus to playing basketball. With that said, his long-term future is still a topic for discussion, with his role this season likely to play a part in where he eventually ends up.

Kuminga will start Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga is getting a fill-in start with Stephen Curry (undisclosed), Moses Moody (calf), Jimmy Butler (personal) and Al Horford (rest) all sidelined Sunday. After a drama-filled offseason, Kuminga is off to a slow start to the preseason with 4.0 points in 16.6 minutes per game across two outings.

Kuminga logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block in 15 minutes of Sunday's 111-103 preseason win over the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga made his first appearance since securing a two-year, $48.5 million contract with the Warriors. He had a drama-filled offseason, but both sides are likely eager to put this all behind them. The Warriors are likely to experiment with some different lineups in the preseason, but it was Kuminga who came off the bench behind Moses Moody in this one.

Kuminga agreed to a two-year, $48.5 million contract with the Warriors on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Following a long-lasting negotiation process, Kuminga is set to rejoin the Warriors on a new deal that includes a second-year team option. The 22-year-old forward appeared in a career-low 47 regular-season games (10 starts) in the 2024-25 season due largely to a sprained right ankle he sustained in January. He averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists while shooting a career-worst 45.4 percent from the field across 24.3 minutes per game. The 2021 No. 7 overall pick is likely to provide a spark off the bench but could step into the starting lineup if injuries arise in the frontcourt.

Kuminga will not attend the team's media day on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga recently missed Jimmy Butler's team minicamp in San Diego, and he will now forego the team's media day amid contract negotiations. Kuminga's one-year $8 million qualifying offer expires Wednesday, so his future with the team should be clearer in the coming days. With the signings of Al Horford, Gary Payton, De'Anthony Melton and Will Richard, the Warriors have 13 committed roster players, with plans for Kuminga to be the 14th.

Kuminga didn't attend Jimmy Butler's team mini camp in San Diego due to ongoing contract negotiations, Shams reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga's standoff with the Golden State brass continues, as the two sides still seem far apart on a new deal, with the start of the 2025-26 campaign rapidly approaching. The up-and-comer is adamant about getting a player option in his new deal, so it remains to be seen whether a new deal will be finalized before the deadline on Oct. 1 and what his future holds with the team moving forward.

The Warriors extended a $7.9 million qualifying offer to Kuminga on Saturday, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move will make Kuminga a restricted free agent. Per Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, Kuminga is seeking a deal that pays him over $30 million per year, but the Warriors have the flexibility to match any offer made to the 2021 first-rounder. Kuminga had a rocky regular season and got inconsistent playing time, but he had a more prominent role during the Warriors' first-round playoff series loss against the Timberwolves. He averaged 24.3 points on 55.4 percent shooting, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.8 steals over 31.0 minutes over the final four games of that series.

Kuminga supplied 26 points (11-23 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 121-110 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Kuminga certainly had a rollercoaster of a season considering he was in and out of coach Steve Kerr's rotation, but he went out with a bang. In his last four playoff appearances, Kuminga averaged 24.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.8 three-pointers in 31.0 minutes per game. Kuminga will now enter restricted free agency with his future very much uncertain based on Kerr's usage of the forward at times.
