Overview

  • He did not play in Sunday’s 123-91 win in Chicago despite Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford being unavailable.
  • Steve Kerr described the choice as a private rotation call and noted such changes happen for non-stars as the lineup evolves.
  • Gui Santos served as the primary backup forward and Jimmy Butler’s return absorbed minutes, while depth pieces powered a second straight road win.
  • After an early-season starting role, Kuminga missed time with knee tendinitis and has struggled since returning, staying under 25 minutes in seven straight games before the DNP.
  • He is on a two-year, $46.8 million deal with a 2026-27 team option, and league sources expect the Warriors to explore trades; Kuminga said he has no issues, will stay ready and has moved on from the summer.
