Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Posts impressive scoring night
Rotowire
Kuminga produced 22 points (9-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one assist in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 win over the Mavericks.
Kuminga stayed hot on the offensive end and has now dropped in 20-plus points in two of his last three matchups. He's shooting a stellar 66.7 percent from the field and 58.3 percent from deep over this brief stretch, and well that level of efficiency is a welcome sight, it's well above his season-long rates of 51.7 percent and 36.2 percent, respectively. With that in mind, some level of regression is likely headed Kuminga's way sooner rather than later, though he's at least played well enough to earn extra playing time for now.

Rotowire
Kuminga logged 24 points (8-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Saturday's 133-119 loss to Memphis.
Kuminga returned to a reserve role with Draymond Green back from a one-game absence due to a suspension. While the Warriors struggled offensively as a whole in the contest, Kuminga looked great, posting a team-best 24 points and making four of seven three-point attempts. The scoring output tied a season-high mark, which he previously established Dec. 7 against Utah. In addition, Kuminga's eight boards were his most since mid-December.

Kuminga missed three games due to the ankle issue before returning for the Warriors' last two games, where he averaged 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 22.5 minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scores 10 in starting lineup
Rotowire
Kuminga closed with 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 26 minutes during Friday's 127-119 loss to the Hawks.
Kuminga moved into the starting lineup Friday with Draymond Green (suspension) sidelined for one game. Kuminga fared well in 12 previous starts with 12.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists, and the Warriors may need to get a lot of mileage out of him down the stretch with Andrew Wiggins' (personal) status up in the air.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Gets 19 minutes in return
Rotowire
Kuminga (ankle) posted eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists in 19 minutes in Wednesday's 134-126 loss to the Clippers.
Kuminga had started in his most recent appearance March 7 before missing the Warriors' subsequent three contests with a right ankle sprain, but he was limited to a bench role in his return while head coach Steve Kerr rolled out a top-unit frontcourt of Draymond Green and Kevon Looney. Though Kuminga saw a modest minutes count and turned in a rather underwhelming stat line, he could be in store for a boost in both playing time and production in Friday's game in Atlanta. Draymond Green is expected to serve a suspension for that contest after he accrued his 16th technical foul of the season Wednesday, and the Warriors will likely rely on the likes of Kuminga, Looney, Patrick Baldwin and JaMychal Green to cover Green's vacated minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Kuminga (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Kendra Andrews of ESPN.com reports.
Kuminga has missed the past three games due to a right ankle sprain, but he was able to get through individual work during Tuesday's practice, which is a sign of progress. He'll likely be a game-time call ahead of Wednesday's 10:00 p.m. ET tipoff, but if Kuminga is able to get back out there, JaMychal Green will likely lose some minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Out Monday
Rotowire
Kuminga (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Suns, Madeline Kenney of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Kuminga will be sidelined for the third game in a row due to a right ankle injury. With Kuminga sitting out, Draymond Green is likely to log more playing time at power forward, opening up more minutes at center for Kevon Looney and JaMychal Green in the process. Kuminga's next opportunity to play will come Wednesday against the Clippers.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Kuminga has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Grizzlies after rolling his ankle during pregame warmups, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Kuminga was probable ahead of Thursday's game despite right hip soreness, but he'll be unable to suit up due to the ankle injury he sustained while warming up.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Sizable output in start
Rotowire
Kuminga accumulated 21 points (8-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 137-128 loss to the Thunder.
Kuminga's 21 points marked his second-highest scoring output of the season. His starting nod Tuesday came in place of Kevon Looney, who moved to the bench following some recent struggles. Given Kuminga's impressive showing, there's a chance he could maintain a starting lineup spot for at least one more contest. Kuminga has shot 60.7 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from deep over the last five games, so he's certainly earned his minutes of late.
