Kuminga will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Kings, John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Draymond Green is good to go after missing the season finale, so this is an expected move for Kuminga. Despite this move to the second unit, Kuminga figures to see a healthy amount of minutes going forward.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Scoreless in regular-season finale
Rotowire
Kuminga contributed zero points (0-4 FG), seven assists, one block and two steals over 23 minutes during Sunday's 123-116 win over the Jazz.
Kuminga didn't look good in the final game of the regular season, though one bad outing is not going to undermine all the progress he achieved throughout the campaign. Kuminga started the year as a bench alternative but was Golden State's best player on prolonged stretches, hitting the 20-point mark in 23 different appearances and posting career-high per-game figures across most popular categories outside of blocks and three-point percentage.

Rotowire
Kuminga (pelvis) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jazz.
Kuminga did not play Friday against the Pelicans with coach Steve Kerr saying that the forward was in a lot of pain. Kerr mentioned Friday that he was planning to rest several key rotation players, and Kuminga could be a candidate for a maintenance day due to his pelvis issue.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
Kuminga (pelvis) won't play Friday against the Pelicans, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Kuminga suffered a right pelvic contusion in Thursday's 100-92 win over the Trail Blazers, and head coach Steve Kerr noted that the third-year forward is still experiencing a lot of pain one day later. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Sunday against the Jazz. The good news for Golden State is that both Klay Thompson and Draymond Green will be active Friday after sitting out Thursday.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Kuminga is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans due to a right pelvic contusion.
Kuminga has appeared in the last three matchups and drew a start during Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers. However, it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's sidelined Friday, Andrew Wiggins, Dario Saric and Trayce Jackson-Davis could see increased run.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Posts 19 points in starting role
Rotowire
Kuminga registered 19 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 100-92 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Kuminga logged his first start since missing six games with a knee injury. Kuminga was a fixture in the starting lineup prior to being sidelined, and although Trayce Jackson-Davis has started at the five for nine consecutive games, the Warriors will likely revert back to a combination of Kuminga and Draymond Green (knee) in the frontcourt when Green returns to action.

Kuminga will start Thursday's game against Portland, Sam Gordon of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Coming off bench Sunday
Rotowire
Kuminga (knees) will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Jazz, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Kuminga has been cleared to return from a six-game absence due to bilateral knee tendinitis, but he'll operate as a reserve in his first game back on the court. Coach Steve Kerr said Thursday that he wasn't sure whether Kuminga would claim a starting role once he was cleared to return, so it's unclear whether the 21-year-old will have a starting role over the final week of the regular season. Trayce Jackson-Davis will continue to start in Golden State's frontcourt during Sunday's matchup.

Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Returns with double-double
Rotowire
Kuminga (knees) recorded 21 points (9-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block in 27 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 win over the Jazz.
Making his return from a six-game absence due to bilateral knee tendinitis, Kuminga came off the bench after he had started in each of his previous 29 appearances. He checked into the game at the six-minute mark in the first quarter and shined during his time on the court, logging his fifth double-double of the season while taking on something close to a normal minutes load. Given how well Trayce Jackson-Davis has played in the starting five of late, head coach Steve Kerr recently said that Kuminga could continue to come off the bench when healthy. The Warriors may have room for both in the starting five Tuesday versus the Lakers, however, as Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Draymond Green (back) are both uncertain to be available for that contest.

Rotowire
Kuminga (knees) is available for Sunday's game against the Jazz, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Kuminga is returning from a six-game absence, so it remains to be seen if the Warriors will err on the side of caution with his workload. The 21-year-old has averaged 17.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks across 29.0 minutes in his last five games played.

Kuminga (knees) won't play Friday against the Mavericks.
Despite comments from Steve Kerr earlier in the week indicating that Kuminga was on track to play Thursday in Houston, Kuminga not only missed that contest but will also remain out for the second leg of the back-to-back set. With Kuminga sidelined for the sixth straight contest and Andrew Wiggins (ankle) also out Friday, youngsters Trayce Jackson-Davis and Moses Moody should both be in store for expanded roles in the Golden State rotation.
