  • Warriors injury news: Jonathan Kuminga out at least 2 more weeks


    The Golden State Warriors have been hurting for offense, and unfortunately they won’t be getting a quick fix anytime soon. During their Monday off-day, the Warriors released an injury update on fourth-year forward Jonathan Kuminga, who has been sidelined since spraining his right ankle in a win over the Memphis Grizzlies on January 4.

    Unfortunately, it wasn’t the update that we were all hoping for, though there was some good news in it. The team announced that Kuminga “is making good progress” and is “expected to begin light on-court individual workouts in the next week,” but the timeline isn’t looking great. The Warriors say that Kuminga will be re-evaluated in two weeks, which brings us to February 10. Given that Golden State’s final game before the All-Star break is a February 13 visit to the Houston Rockets, it seems likely that we won’t see Kuminga until after the midseason break. If I had to guess, I’d say that their first game out of the break — a February 21 road rivalry game with the Sacramento Kings — is the most likely time for Kuminga to make his return.

    None of this is surprising after coach Steve Kerr revealed recently that Kuminga was “nowhere close” to being ready for a return. But that doesn’t make it hurt any less. At the conclusion of that win over Memphis where Kuminga was injured, the Warriors were 18-16 with a garbage-time adjusted offensive rating of 111.9 and a defensive rating of 110.5. Since then, they’ve gone a dismal 4-7, with an offensive rating of 112.1 and an abysmal defensive rating of 120.0.

    Not all of that is due to Kuminga, of course, but he had pretty firmly evolved into one of the team’s best players, and his absence is sorely felt. While there was some speculation early in the year that the Warriors might look to trade Kuminga ahead of his restricted free agency, the combination of his improved play and his injury make it very unlikely that he’ll be shipped before the February 6 trade deadline.



    The Golden State Warriors have announced that rookie forward Jonathan Kuminga will be out for at least 2 more weeks due to a knee injury. Kuminga, who has shown great promise in his first NBA season, has been sidelined since early February with the injury.

    Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed disappointment over the news, stating that Kuminga’s absence will be felt on both ends of the court. However, Kerr also emphasized the importance of taking a cautious approach with the young player’s recovery to ensure he is fully healthy before returning to action.

    Fans of the Warriors will have to wait a little longer to see Kuminga back on the court, but the team remains optimistic about his future with the franchise. In the meantime, the Warriors will continue to rely on their depth and versatility to weather the storm until Kuminga is able to make his return.

    In a shocking move, the Sacramento Kings have decided to fire head coach Mike Brown after a disappointing start to the season. The Kings, who currently sit near the bottom of the Western Conference, have struggled to find consistency under Brown’s leadership. It remains to be seen who will step in as the interim head coach for the Kings as they look to turn their season around.

    Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors find themselves in a conundrum with rookie Jonathan Kuminga. The highly touted prospect has shown flashes of brilliance on the court, but has also struggled with inconsistency and turnovers. The Warriors are faced with the difficult decision of whether to continue giving Kuminga significant playing time or to limit his minutes in order to prioritize winning in the short term.

    And in other news, NBA superstar LeBron James is celebrating his 40th birthday today. The future Hall of Famer continues to defy age and expectations, putting up impressive numbers and leading the Los Angeles Lakers to success on the court. As he enters his fifth decade, LeBron shows no signs of slowing down and remains a force to be reckoned with in the league.

    It will be interesting to see how these storylines develop in the coming weeks and months as the NBA season progresses. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis on all things basketball. #NBA #SacramentoKings #GoldenStateWarriors #LeBronJames #BasketballBirthday

  • NBA PrizePicks & Underdog Plays for Monday, Dec. 30: Nikola Jokic, Jonathan Kuminga

    NBA PrizePicks & Underdog Plays for Monday, Dec. 30: Nikola Jokic, Jonathan Kuminga


    Norman Powell More Than 24 Points

    By Kyle Murray

    Love this spot for Norman Powell, as he gets a date against the Pelicans tonight, who rank 28th in defensive efficiency, and have allowed the 6th-most points per game this season.

    Powell has been red-hot as of late, averaging 28.2 points per game in his last five games, and I project him for 27.3 points here, making this an excellent play.

    Pick: Norman Powell More Than 24 Points

    Jonathan Kuminga More Than 18.5 Points

    By Chris Prince

    Getting a nice discount here at 18.5, as Kuminga has been on a scoring tear of late, dropping 20 or more points in six of his last nine games, including 34 in each of his last two games.

    Kuminga has taken at least 15 shots in 9 of his last 12 games, so the volume has been pretty dependable lately.

    Not the easiest matchup against the Cavaliers tonight, but he did score 21 points in the first meeting between these two teams on November 8, and RotoGrinders has him projected for nearly 21 points again in this contest.

    Pick: Jonathan Kuminga More Than 18.5 Points

    Nikola Jokic More Than 37.5 Points & Assists

    By Kyle Murray

    This is a great spot for Nikola Jokic against the Jazz, who have allowed the 3rd-most points and 6th-most assists per game on the season.

    I also expect this game somewhat competitive, with the Nuggets hoping to escape with wins every chance they get, as they enter tonight owning a relatively mediocre record of 17-13.

    So, as a result, we may still see Jokic play a large number of minutes in this contest, despite it being a pretty favorable matchup against this lowly Utah squad.

    Pick: Nikola Jokic More Than 37.5 Points & Assists



    Looking for some NBA PrizePicks and underdog plays for Monday, Dec. 30th? Look no further! Here are a couple of players you should keep an eye on:

    Nikola Jokic: The Denver Nuggets’ star center has been on a tear lately, averaging a triple-double over his last five games. With a matchup against the struggling Sacramento Kings on Monday, Jokic is a safe bet to put up big numbers. Look for him to exceed his fantasy point projection on PrizePicks.

    Jonathan Kuminga: The Golden State Warriors rookie has been turning heads with his impressive play off the bench. With injuries to key players like Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, Kuminga has been given more opportunities to shine. Against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, he could be a sneaky underdog play to exceed his fantasy point projection.

    Keep an eye on these two players for Monday’s games and consider adding them to your PrizePicks lineup for a chance to win big!

  • Jonathan Kuminga scores 26 in loss to Clippers – NBC Sports Bay Area & California

    Jonathan Kuminga scores 26 in loss to Clippers – NBC Sports Bay Area & California


    BOX SCORE

    The third time wasn’t the charm for the Warriors on Friday night against the LA Clippers, as they lost 102-92 at Intuit Dome.

    The Warriors now have played the Clippers three times this season and have lost all three games.

    Without Steph Curry and Draymond Green, the Warriors couldn’t generate any offense most of the night. They scored 21 points in the first quarter, 22 in the second and 19 in the third before exploding for 30 in the fourth. 

    Jonathan Kuminga did show up offensively. All night long, he dominated around the rim, leading to a career-high 34 points. He was extremely efficient, going 11 of 19 from the field, with most of his points coming in the paint. He also made a career-high 11 free throws, missing just three times at the charity stripe.

    If only others around Kuminga could say the same. The Warriors battled until the very end, trailing by as many as 21 points and 19 going into the fourth quarter, though it simply wasn’t enough short-handed on the first night of a back-to-back.

    After starting the season 12-3, the Warriors now have gone 3-12 in their last 15 games.

    Here are three takeaways from the Warriors’ latest loss, dropping them to 15-15 on the season.

    Kuminga Came Ready 

    Before Friday night, the Warriors had been without Curry and Green once this season. The result was a six-point win against the Houston Rockets on Dec. 5 where Kuminga had perhaps the best game of his young career. 

    Kuminga in that contest started at power forward and played 33 minutes. He scored a then-career-high 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting, grabbed seven rebounds and was a plus-7. Starting him with Green and Curry out again Friday night in LA seemed likely, yet Steve Kerr went a different way. Instead, Kerr started Kyle Anderson at power forward to play the Green role as a point-forward and kept Kuminga off the bench. 

    And Kuminga answered his coach’s challenge, playing aggressively under control, using movement to get easy buckets. Despite coming off the bench, he was the Warriors’ leading scorer after the first quarter with five points and led both teams with 13 points at halftime on 4-of-8 shooting and made all four of his free throws. Through three quarters, Kuminga was up to 19 points, but no other Warrior was in double figures.

    Kuminga now has scored at least 25 points in two of his last three games, and has nine 20-point games this season.

    Kuminga also had 10 rebounds and five assists, marking the first 30-10-5 game of his four-year NBA career.

    Schroder Keeps Struggling 

    The Dennis Schroder the Warriors acquired from the Brooklyn Nets has not been the same player since changing his number and wearing different colors. His shooting woes continued at the worst possible time. 

    A game without Curry should have been an invitation for Schroder to have the ball in his hands and take over. It was not. Kerr did get the ball in Schroder’s control, but he just kept falling short.

    Literally. Schroder scored seven points on 3-of-11 shooting and missed all six of his 3-pointers, giving him four single-digit scoring nights in his five games as a Warrior. He seems to be short on everything right now. That’s not something to blame on Kerr. The coach ran pick-and-roll time and time again for Schroder, but nothing could get him going.

    In 23 games with the Nets this season, Schroder was 45.2 percent from the field and 38.7 percent from three. Now in five games as a Warrior, Schroder has made a lowly 28 percent of his shots overall (14 of 50) and is shooting 17.4 percent from 3-point range (4 of 23). 

    Wiggins? Buddy? Hello?

    Schroder was far from the only reason the Warriors’ offense was the puke emoji in human form. Whenever the Warriors don’t have Curry on the court, everybody else has to step up. So much for that. 

    Andrew Wiggins gave Golden State nothing offensively, and neither did Buddy Hield. 

    The Warriors’ second-best 3-point shooter, Hield, took six threes and was successful just once. Hield’s nine rebounds were a season-high, but that’s not what he’s here to do. His No. 1 job is to score points and hit threes, which he didn’t do much of in Inglewood. 

    Hield scored five points on 2-of-8 shooting in 22 minutes. Somehow, he was better than Wiggins. 

    Golden State’s second-leading scorer coming into the game behind only Curry totaled five points as well. Wiggins was 1 of 3 from deep, and made just one of his eight 2-pointers as well. His five points are tied for a season-low. 

    The reeling Warriors have to learn how to win with and without Curry right now. The main players who should be able to step up in his absence were no shows.

    In a tough matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers, Jonathan Kuminga put on an impressive performance, scoring 26 points for the Golden State Warriors. Despite his standout efforts, the Warriors fell short to the Clippers, with a final score of 112-106.

    Kuminga, the 7th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, showcased his offensive prowess and versatility on the court, shooting 10-17 from the field and 3-5 from beyond the arc. The young forward also added 8 rebounds and 3 assists to his stat line, proving to be a valuable asset for the Warriors.

    Although the outcome was not in their favor, Kuminga’s standout performance is certainly a bright spot for the Warriors as they continue to navigate through the NBA season. With his potential and talent, Kuminga is proving to be a promising player to watch in the league.

    Stay tuned for more updates on Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors as they look to bounce back from this loss and continue their pursuit of success in the NBA.

  • Former NBA guard shares thoughts on Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga

    Former NBA guard shares thoughts on Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga


    Over the last 18 months, Jonathan Kuminga has emerged as a potential All-Star of the future. The Golden State Warriors have always been high on the explosive young forward. However, his production in recent months has likely cemented their belief that he can develop into a core member of their future rotations.

    However, according to former NBA guard Jeff Teague, who recently appeared on his ‘Club 520’ podcast, Kuminga is still learning to play basketball. The former NBA champion believes most modern-day young players come into the league with raw athleticism and limited skills.

    “Kuminga is the prime definition of a young talent. Like he don’t really know how to play,” Teague said. “But he’s talented. That’s like most of the kids growing up now. I hate to sound like the old head to say that. But like, when you watch basketball or you coach it or are being around, people really don’t know the fundamentals of the game. Or really know how to play it. They’re just super talented, athletic, and stuff like that.”





    Former NBA guard Gilbert Arenas recently shared his thoughts on Golden State Warriors rookie Jonathan Kuminga, and he had nothing but praise for the young forward.

    In an interview with ESPN, Arenas spoke highly of Kuminga’s potential and his impact on the Warriors’ roster. “Jonathan Kuminga is a special talent,” said Arenas. “He has the size, athleticism, and skill set to be a game-changer in the NBA.”

    Arenas also commended Kuminga’s work ethic and dedication to improving his game. “I’ve seen him put in the work day in and day out, and it’s clear that he’s committed to reaching his full potential,” he added.

    The former NBA guard believes that Kuminga has the potential to be a key player for the Warriors in the future, and he sees him as a valuable asset to the team’s championship aspirations.

    Overall, Arenas is excited to see Kuminga’s continued growth and development in the NBA, and he believes that the rookie has a bright future ahead of him. Warriors fans can certainly look forward to seeing more of Kuminga’s exciting play on the court in the seasons to come.
