Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga remains day-to-day with bilateral patellar tendinitis, barely participated in practice, and may undergo imaging as Kerr noted he is not moving well.
- Golden State is 9-9 after a three-game skid marked by rebounding problems, including a 52-32 deficit on the glass and a 28-10 second‑chance points gap in the loss to Portland.
- Al Horford will miss at least the next three games with a sciatic-related issue and Draymond Green is questionable with a foot sprain, with Kerr indicating Trayce Jackson-Davis could see more minutes.
- Multiple outlets, including Marc Stein, report growing league expectation that the Warriors will explore trading Kuminga once he becomes eligible on Jan. 15 ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Kuminga’s two-year deal with a team option was structured to be tradeable as a roughly $22 million slot, and analysts have floated packages and targets such as Michael Porter Jr., Sam Hauser, and an Andrew Wiggins reunion under second-apron constraints.
