Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Converts four shots beyond arc
Rotowire
Kuminga tallied 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and an assist across 20 minutes in Wednesday's 122-112 win over the Kings.
Kuminga appears to have a firm hold as the starter at the four for the Warriors, although Andrew Wiggins and newly acquired Kyle Anderson will also compete for playing time. On paper, Kuminga's skill set is a bit more diverse, with the ability to stretch the floor via a keen perimeter shot while also tending to duties in the frontcourt.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Grabs seven boards Saturday
Rotowire
Kuminga totaled seven points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's 91-90 preseason win over the Clippers.
Kuminga's 19 minutes of on-court time Saturday were most of the Warriors' starting five. The 2021 first-round pick is expected to step into a larger role on offense next to Stephen Curry after Klay Thompson left for Dallas in free agency. Across 74 regular-season games (46 starts) in 2023-24, Kuminga averaged a career-high 16.1 points on 52.9 percent shooting, along with 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.5 blocks over 26.4 minutes per game.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scoreless in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Kuminga contributed zero points (0-4 FG), seven assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 win over the Jazz.
Kuminga didn't look good in the final game of the regular season, though one bad outing is not going to undermine all the progress he achieved throughout the campaign. Kuminga started the year as a bench alternative but was Golden State's best player on prolonged stretches, hitting the 20-point mark in 23 different appearances and posting career-high per-game figures across most popular categories outside of blocks and three-point percentage.

Kuminga suffered a right pelvic contusion in Thursday's 100-92 win over the Trail Blazers, and head coach Steve Kerr noted that the third-year forward is still experiencing a lot of pain one day later.
