Jonathan Kuminga amassed 24 points (8-of-19 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings.
With Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler both sidelined, Kuminga moved up in the offensive pecking order on Wednesday. While he didn’t record any defensive stats, the offensive stats were certainly valuable to those who have him rostered. Kuminga is still ranked outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, but he’s been more consistent than he was a season ago.

Jonathan Kuminga accounted for 24 points (7-of-11 FGs, 8-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Bucks.
While Kuminga has averaged at least 15 points per game each of the last three seasons, the 2025-26 season has a different feel thus far. His role is solidified, which has led to Kuminga better navigating the balance of getting his offense and understanding that things still revolve around Stephen Curry. Rostered in 49 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Kuminga is providing middle-round value in 12-team formats. Now would be a good time for some holdouts to grab JK off the waiver wire if he’s available.

Jonathan Kuminga accounted for nine points (4-of-11 FGs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s win over the Clippers.
Kuminga’s production on Tuesday was modest, but that doesn’t erase the fact that he’s gotten off to a good start. Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has provided top-100 value over the first week of the regular season. And Kuminga has made a positive impression on Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. Kerr was complimentary of the forward before Tuesday’s game, saying that JK will retain his place in the starting lineup “going forward.” That’s good news for Kuminga and the fantasy managers who hoped he could lock down a consistent role.

Jonathan Kuminga produced 25 points (9-of-14 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block on Monday in the win over the Grizzlies.
Kuminga had a productive outing against the Grizzlies on Monday. He made moderate contributions to the scoreboard throughout the first three quarters before finishing strong, closing with 10 fourth-quarter points to conclude the game as Golden State’s leading scorer. The fifth-year forward has shot over 50.0 percent from the field, scored at least 14 points, and secured five or more rebounds in each of the Warriors’ four games thus far. He’s currently averaging career highs in rebounds and assists per game as he continues his encouraging start to the season.

Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is probable to play against the Trail Blazers on Friday.
On the second night of a back-to-back, Kuminga should be good to go. Through two games, he’s averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.5 threes per game. He should continue to be a productive starter for Golden State.

Jonathan Kuminga amassed 17 points (6-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s win over the Lakers.
Following Jimmy Butler III’s addition to the Warriors’ roster in February, the prevailing thought was that he and Kuminga could not be on the court together very often due to spacing reasons. They looked comfortable in Tuesday’s season opener, especially with Kuminga shooting 4-of-6 from beyond the arc. However, it’s fair to question if that is sustainable for a career 33.2 percent shooter. Last season, Kuminga made a career-low 30.5 percent of his three-point attempts, making multiple triples in 14 of his 47 regular-season appearances. Tuesday’s effort was encouraging, but more production is needed before buying into Kuminga as a perimeter shooter.

Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Jimmy Butler III, Jonathan Kuminga and Draymond Green will start Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.
Kuminga (ankle) and Butler (ankle) were initially probable for Tuesday’s season opener, so the starting lineup announcement means they’re good to go. The Warriors will go without a traditional center to begin Tuesday’s game, with Green moving to the five while Al Horford will come off the bench. If Kuminga can retain the starting role, his fantasy value should improve after a lackluster 2024-25 campaign.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports Jonathan Kuminga is “expected” to start against the Lakers on Tuesday.
Kuminga hasn’t officially been cleared to play, but with the initial probable tag, he should be good to go. Charania’s report likely indicates that Kuminga will start next to Stephen Curry, Brandin Podziemski Jimmy Butler (ankle) and Draymond Green, with Al Horford coming off the bench.

Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Lakers.
Kuminga has been dealing with right ankle inflammation, but is on track to play in Tuesday’s season opener. He’ll likely provide depth off the bench, with Brandin Podziemski continuing to start alongside Jimmy Butler. Kuminga’s fantasy value has been limited when he comes off the bench, but he remains a player worth rostering in deeper leagues.

Jonathan Kuminga finished Sunday’s win over the Lakers with five points, six rebounds, four assists, a blocked shot and a three-pointer in 15 minutes.
With a deal finally completed on Tuesday, Kuminga took the court just five days later to open up the preseason with Golden State. He turned in a well-rounded line across limited minutes. Kuminga will be a major trade asset for Golden State beginning in January, so it’s likely the Warriors give him ample playing time this season as he auditions for his next gig.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Jonathan Kuminga has agreed to a two-year, $48.5 million contract to remain with the Warriors.
After months of rumors, the Kuminga saga has come to an end... for now. The two-year deal has a player option “designed for the contract to be ripped up and renegotiated next summer.” It’s unclear if the Warriors will be able to get a long-term deal done with Kuminga next summer, but it’s worth noting that Shams adds, “both sides understand likelihood of exploring trades when Kuminga is eligible in January.” Assuming he has another productive campaign, Kuminga should have no shortage of suitors when it’s time to re-negotiate his contract.

Draymond Green said Jonathan Kuminga told him he wants to stay with the Warriors.
Contract negotiations have continued over the last few months, but Golden State hasn’t been able to finalize anything with Kuminga. With the deadline to accept his qualifying offer on Wednesday, there should be resolution this week, and if you trust Draymond as a source, Kuminga’s preference would be to remain with the team that drafted him. Obviously, the contract is the holdup.

Agent Aaron Turner told ESPN last week that restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga is prepared to sign his qualifying offer to play for the Warriors this season.
Contract negotiations between Kuminga and the Warriors have been contentious, with the potential option being the most significant sticking point. While the team wants to include a team option, granting them considerable leverage, Kuminga wants a player option included, giving him the power to determine his next stop if the Warriors were to try to trade him. According to Turner, his client is open to playing the upcoming season on his qualifying offer, making Kuminga an unrestricted free agent next summer. The contract negotiations have held up Golden State’s other dealings in free agency, with the team expected to add Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton in free agency and re-sign Gary Payton II. There’s also the possibility of Seth Curry being signed, but nothing can happen until Kuminga’s situation is resolved. Unless the Warriors change their approach and move Kuminga to a team that envisions a prominent role for him, such as Sacramento, his fantasy value will be low in 2025-26.

ESPN’s Anthony Slater and Shams Charania report the Warriors offered Jonathan Kuminga a three-year, $75.2 million contract late last week.
The Warriors and Kuminga, a restricted free agent, remain at a stalemate over a deal that would keep the sides together for the next few years. According to Monday’s report, the three-year agreement includes a team option for the third year, and the first two seasons would be similar to the deal Josh Giddey recently agreed to in Chicago regarding average annual value. Previously, Golden State offered Kuminga a two-year deal worth $45 million, including a team option. The option is likely one of the hangups for Kuminga, who holds more leverage now than he has at any point in his NBA career. The failure to get this deal done has kept Golden State from attending to other business. While the widespread assumption is that they’ll sign Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton and re-sign Gary Payton II, those deals can’t happen until there’s a conclusion regarding Kuminga. Another option is to sign his qualifying offer, making the forward an unrestricted free agent next summer. Per ESPN, Kuminga and his agent proposed a one-year, $8 million deal allowing Golden State to use him as a potential trade chip during the season.

ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported Friday that there have been “renewed” conversations between the Warriors and restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga.
Kuminga is one of the restricted free agents who remain on the board, and he and the Warriors have failed to come to an agreement on a deal. While it has been reported that the franchise has offered a two-year, $45 million contract with a team option, Kuminga and his representation feel that he would be little more than a “pawn” if he were to accept that deal. “Now, if you’re talking about a three-year deal, if you’re talking about something with a player option that shows him a little bit more commitment, that’s something he’d be interested in,” Slater said on ESPN’s NBA Today. “But as of now, the Warriors have been hesitant to do that, and because of that, Kuminga is signaling to those around him that he’s very willing – and prefers – (to sign) the qualifying offer over the two-year, $45MM deal. That’s dangerous for the Warriors. They can try to call his bluff, but right now, it seems to be trending toward the qualifying offer.” While accepting the qualifying offer would not protect Kuminga from being traded during the season, it would give him more say in his long-term future than accepting the two-year deal the Warriors have reportedly offered.

ESPN’s Shams Charania and Anthony Slater report Jonathan Kuminga will continue declining Golden State’s current offer of two years, $45 million.
The deal reportedly includes a team option for the second year and will not include a no-trade clause. Kuminga has received more lucrative offers from the Kings and Suns, with offers reaching up to four years and $90 million via sign-and-trade. Golden State appears to be firm in its offer, while Kuminga doesn’t want to cede too much control to a franchise he believes has “stunted” his growth and “strung his career along” for the last four seasons. This is shaping up to be contentious negotiation, and it might get worse before it gets better. Buckle up.

Jonathan Kuminga told ESPN’s Shams Charania that he’s “in absolutely no rush in doing a deal with the Warriors right now, and he’s not accepting their current offers.”
The report also included the Kings and Suns as potential sign-and-trade options for Kuminga, which means he could remain in the Pacific Division no matter what. Kuminga will be the first domino to fall for Golden State, whenever that happens, and they will look to add other free agents after they figure out whether or not Kuminga is staying.

Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports the Suns are interested in restricted free agent PF Jonathan Kuminga.
To say the restricted free agency market has been harsh would be an understatement, as there has been little movement for multiple players. That includes Kuminga, the subject of some sign-and-trade rumors at the beginning of free agency. While Phoenix, who has moved on from Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, is reportedly interested in the athletic forward, getting him would be difficult. In addition to the Warriors having the right to match any offer sheet that Kuminga would sign, the Suns lack the necessary assets, especially draft capital, to make something happen. Phoenix has the cap space following the Durant and Beal exits, but the price paid to land those two stars has left the cupboard bare otherwise.

Spotrac’s Keith Smith reports the Warriors extended a qualifying offer to Jonathan Kuminga.
The Warriors extending a qualifying offer to Kuminga means he’ll be a restricted free agent when free agency opens on Monday. That allows the team to match an offer sheet he may sign with another team. A sign-and-trade would also be possible for the Warriors if the price required to re-sign Kuminga is too high for their taste. While Kuminga had his moments with the Warriors, he has been unable to carve out the role that would make him a consistent factor in fantasy basketball.

Jonathan Kuminga provided a boost off the bench with 26 points (11-of-23 FGs), three rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
For a player that was out of the rotation at times during this postseason, Kuminga may have earned himself a nice payday in the final four games of this series. Head coach Steve Kerr needed offense with Stephen Curry (hamstring) sidelined, and Kuminga was able to fill the void. He averaged 24.3 points on 55.4 percent shooting in Games 2-5. Kuminga is set to be a restricted free agent, and even if it isn’t the Warriors handing him a big contract, the 22-year-old should be able to find a team to pay him.

Jonathan Kuminga had 30 points (11-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three three-pointers against the Timberwolves in Game 3 on Saturday.
It’s no secret that the Warriors are desperate for offense without Stephen Curry (hamstring) in the lineup. While Buddy Hield has done an admirable job stepping up in these playoffs, Kuminga has easily had his two best games since Curry went out. The 22-year-old power forward had 18 points in 26 minutes in Game 2 and 30 points in 36 minutes in Game 3. While the Warriors lost both games, beggars can’t be choosers and Golden State has to be happy with that production. The Warriors are going to need to extend this series to at least six games for Curry to potentially return to the court. Kuminga is likely to continue to be a factor as Golden State tries to steal one of the next two games.

Jonathan Kuminga tallied 11 points (4-of-12 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two three-pointers in 26 minutes in Wednesday’s Game 2 loss to the Rockets.
During Game 1, multiple outlets reported that Kuminga was unlikely to crack the Warriors’ rotation unless there was a need to adjust the game plan. That adjustment was forced on Wednesday, as Brandin Podziemski was ill and Jimmy Butler exited during the first quarter with a pelvic contusion. As a result, Kuminga was back in the rotation after sitting out Golden State’s last three games. While the stat line wasn’t impressive, the Warriors may have to rely on him for Game 3 on Saturday, depending on Butler’s availability.

Jonathan Kuminga did not play in Sunday’s Game 1 win over the Rockets.
After playing at least 17 minutes in six straight games, Kuminga picked up a DNP-CD in Golden State’s final two games before the playoffs. He met a similar fate in Sunday’s Game 1, and that may be the norm for Kuminga moving forward. Multiple outlets reported during the game that he’s unlikely to crack the rotation unless there’s a need to adjust the game plan within a game or the series. With restricted free agency looming in the summer, Kuminga’s Warriors career appears to be ending on the pine.

Jonathan Kuminga provided a boost off the bench with 18 points (7-of-12 FGs), nine rebounds, four assists, one block and one three-pointer against the Lakers on Thursday.
Following a one-game absence with a pelvic contusion, Kuminga was back to playing his typical role as a scoring option off the bench for the Warriors. Since returning from a two-month absence, he has scored in double figures without reaching 20 points in nine of his 10 games, with the game where he exited after playing just seven minutes being the only exception. Having Kuminga contribute off the bench has been helpful for Golden State, and the encouraging aspect for dynasty managers is that he is still only 22 years old.

Kuminga will be good to go after a one-game absence. He’ll occupy his typical role off the bench, which hasn’t resulted in much fantasy production for him. Buddy Hield and Gui Santos will lose out on some minutes, though neither was productive in an increased role on Tuesday.
