Jonathan Kuminga Set to Miss Initial Games After All-Star Break Due to Ankle Injury

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is in the process of recovering from a sprained right ankle. Kuminga, who has been sidelined since January 4, is reportedly making progress in his rehabilitation. However, it has been confirmed that he will not return in time to play in the Warriors' first few games following the All-Star break.

Currently, the Warriors do not expect Kuminga to participate in any activities for the initial games that follow the upcoming All-Star festivities. According to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, Kuminga has started to work out on the court and will be re-evaluated in about ten days, indicating that he is slowly moving toward a return to the lineup. Kuminga's absence stretches to a total of 21 games as of the All-Star break.

• Kuminga last played on January 4, 2025.
• He is averaging 16.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game this season.
• Kuminga has made 10 starts in 32 games this season.

As the Warriors prepare for their matchups in the upcoming weeks, they will need to adjust their lineup in Kuminga's absence. The prospect of reintegrating him later this month will be key for the team as they head into the stretch run of the season.
