Flirts with double-double
Kuminga finished with 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 victory over the Lakers.
Analysis
Kuminga played through a recent ankle injury, falling one rebound short of a double-double. It was an encouraging performance given the offseason drama, with the fact that he played 33 minutes perhaps the biggest positive. Depending on the matchup, we could see head coach Steve Kerr shuffle the starting rotation from one game to the next, meaning Kuminga's role could be somewhat fluid.

Starting Tuesday
Kuminga (ankle) is available and starting in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
After missing Friday's preseason loss to the Clippers due to an ankle issue, Kuminga will get the starting nod in Tuesday's regular-season opener. The 23-year-old forward appeared in 47 regular-season games (10 starts) in 2024-25, during which he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists across 24.3 minutes per contest.

Tracking to play Tuesday
Kuminga (ankle) is expected to be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Kuminga rolled his ankle during Tuesday's preseason contest and sat out the Warriors' final exhibition Friday, but head coach Steve Kerr indicated that the 23-year-old should be ready for the regular-season opener. The 2021 first-round pick averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 24.3 minutes over 47 regular-season appearances (10 starts) last season and will look to build on that with a strong 2025-26 campaign after a drawn-out contract saga this offseason.

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