Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Requests trade out of Golden State
Rotowire
Kuminga officially requested a trade from the Warriors on Thursday, Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of ESPN.com report.
Due to the terms of the contract he signed in the offseason, Kuminga wasn't eligible to be traded until Thursday, so his decision to formally demand a trade comes as little surprise. Kuminga fell out of the Golden State's rotation in early December and hasn't received any minutes in 16 of the team's past 17 games. Kuminga's contract contains a $24.3 million team option for the 2026-27 season, which means he can be viewed as an expiring deal. According to league sources, the Kings and Mavericks are among the teams that have shown real interest in acquiring the 23-year-old forward, while several other clubs are also expected to be in the mix.
Kuminga (back) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Kuminga was trending toward playing after being upgraded from questionable to probable, and the forward will return after missing Friday's contest against the Thunder due to back soreness. Kuminga's return shouldn't cause a big impact in fantasy, as he's made just four appearances while averaging 17.0 minutes per game since the beginning of December.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Trending toward playing Saturday
Rotowire
Kuminga (back) has been upgraded to probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Kuminga was unable to play against the Thunder on Friday due to back soreness. It looks like the fifth-year forward will give it a go Saturday, but his official status will be known closer to the 10:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Even if Kuminga is available, it's unclear what his role will be given that he hasn't appeared in a game for the Warriors since Dec. 18 against the Suns, when he played 10 minutes and finished with two points (1-5 FG), four rebounds, one assist and one turnover.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Ruled out Friday
Rotowire
Kuminga (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.
Kuminga was a late addition to the injury report due to lower-back soreness, and he won't suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Jazz, but he hasn't been part of the Warriors' rotation in weeks. With the 23-year-old forward joining Jimmy Butler (illness) and Draymond Green (rest) on the sidelines, Gui Santos, Buddy Hield and Gary Payton are candidates for increased minutes.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Back in rotation, per Kerr
Rotowire
Head coach Steve Kerr relayed that Kuminga will be in the rotation for Thursday's game against the Suns, Nick Friedell of The Athletic reports.
Kuminga has been a healthy DNP in each of the Warriors' last three games, but the fifth-year forward is poised to see the court Thursday, perhaps in part due to the absence of Pat Spencer (personal). Kuminga has appeared in 17 regular-season games (13 starts) and is averaging 12.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 0.9 threes over 25.6 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Kuminga had two points (1-5 FG), four rebounds and one assist over 10 minutes during Thursday's 99-98 loss to the Suns.
Kuminga was the 12th man in the rotation Thursday evening, so while he has worked his way back onto the floor, he's still not receiving enough minutes to make an impact in fantasy leagues. For what it's worth, head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged after the game that Kuminga was "good" in the 10 minutes he played, and he praised Kuminga for his speed and athleticism, per Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle.
