SAN FRANCISCO — The Golden State Warriors used an utterly dominant third quarter to blow past the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center on Wednesday, resulting in a feel-good 137-116 victory.

Jonathan Kuminga stepped into the starting lineup for the Golden State Warriors, taking over for Draymond Green who was suspended after an incident where he struck Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic in the face during a December 13th game.

The future of the Golden State Warriors is in question. With Stephen Curry nearing the end of his career and Draymond Green and Klay Thompson showing signs of decline, it’s high time Golden State finds their next representatives. The player that most fans look at as the supposed future of the team is star forward […]

Although this season has not gone as the Golden State Warriors had imagined, Jonathan Kuminga has been a bright spot for them. In his third season with the Warriors, Kuminga has truly been one of the league’s best breakout performers. He has started in a career-high 38 games this year, and the 21-year-old is also […]

The Golden State Warriors have been surging in recent weeks, playing far better than they were earlier in the season. They have won three games in a row and have won eight of their last ten games overall. A big reason for the Warriors improved play has been the contributions of Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga had […]

It took the Golden State Warriors a while, but now, Jonathan Kuminga has cemented his place in the team’s starting lineup, never looking back after an infuriating stretch earlier in the season which saw the 21-year-old forward’s minutes fluctuate. Kuminga has now emerged as one of the Dubs’ most dangerous scoring weapons, flashing a more […]

When Stephen Curry leads the Golden State Warriors in scoring, only a handful of guys often follow suit with their own outbursts. Brandin Podziemski and Klay Thompson are the most recent members of the squad who have had insane nights getting buckets. To everyone’s surprise, it was Jonathan Kuminga who blazed up against the Jalen […]

It’s no coincidence the Golden State Warriors’ midseason turnaround began when Draymond Green got back on the floor following his indefinite suspension. The Dubs are 13-6 since the future Hall-of-Famer returned to the lineup, sporting a +7.5 net rating—fifth-best in the league over that timeframe. While Green has certainly made his presence felt offensively as […]

The Golden State Warriors’ 2023-24 season has been anything but smooth, but one of the brightest points has been the emergence of rookie guard Brandin Podziemski. Despite coming off the bench and getting inconsistent minutes to begin the season, Podziemski has become a regular starter for the Warriors and established himself as one of the […]

The NBA’s Most Improved Player Award is one of the more unique accolades given out at the conclusion of every season.

News recently broke that the Golden State Warriors attempted to trade for LeBron James. Rumors claim Jonathan Kuminga was potentially being offered in a deal to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Warriors star Stephen Curry revealed his true feelings before a […]

Are the championship vibes returning in The Bay Area? Since Draymond Green returned from his lengthy suspension, it sure seems like it for the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors have been on a roll as of late and have won five straight games. Overall, Golden State is 8-4 since Green came back from his 16-game […]

The trade deadline came and went with the Golden State Warriors barely lifting a finger. Sending Cory Joseph and $5.8 million to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a second-round pick lowered Joe Lacob’s tax bill and opened up a roster spot, but will hardly help the Dubs on their quest to re-emerge as contenders […]

The Golden State Warriors made a move at the trade deadline, sending Cory Joseph to the Indiana Pacers, but they reportedly were engaged with the Chicago Bulls in talks surrounding Alex Caruso, per NBC Sports Chicago’s Bulls insider K.C. Johnson: “In exploratory trade talks with the Golden State Warriors centered on Caruso, league sources said […]

Stephen Curry dropped a 60-burger on Saturday night, but the Golden State Warriors still lost to the Atlanta Hawks in overtime. That last sentence is the epitome of their 2023-24 campaign as Curry has been carrying the Warriors, but his teammates have been glaringly inconsistent on both ends of the floor. Golden State is still […]

Remember widespread recent calls for the Golden State Warriors to add a proven secondary scorer and creator? All signs point to the Dubs largely standing pat at the trade deadline, content to play out a tumultuous 2023-24 season with the personnel status quo behind Stephen Curry. A sobering appraisal of the Warriors’ standing in a […]

This season has turned into a roller coaster ride filled with many question marks for the Golden State Warriors.

Following their massive NFC Championship win over the Detroit Lions this past Sunday, the Super Bowl-bound San Francisco 49ers pulled up at Chase Center to watch the Golden State Warriors take on the Philadelphia 76ers. Stephen Curry, Jonathan Kuminga, and the rest of the crew made sure to put on a show as they took […]

The Golden State Warriors (20-24) are likely going to have their backs against the wall for the rest of the regular season, scrapping and clawing to make the NBA playoffs. In order to sustain the necessary pace it will take to mount such a second-half surge, they must be able to lean on their youth. […]

Jonathan Kuminga owns the distinction as Golden State’s best all-around athlete by now, and it’s not particularly close. The more comfortable he gets on the floor, the more frequently the 21-year-old is tapping into his otherworldly physical tools on both sides of the ball. It’s getting scary for opponents. Far more frightening for Warriors foes? […]

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid had to leave their Tuesday showdown against the Golden State Warriors once again after another concerning injury.

Leading up to February 8th, though, the Dubs are finally set to give an extended look to the lineup that’s broadly considered their best. Before Tuesday’s matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers, Steve Kerr told reporters that […]

Small forward Jonathan Kuminga has been playing some of the best basketball in recent weeks for the Golden State Warriors, including going 11-11 from the field in a recent win over the Atlanta Hawks.

SAN FRANCISCO — Jonathan Kuminga caught the ball just past halfcourt with a clear lane to the rim as the Sacramento Kings frantically set their defense. He’d lived in the paint all night long, proving too quick, strong and crafty for the Kings to stop when he put the ball on the deck with a […]

After bringing in […]

So much for Jonathan Kuminga’s stunning return to the bench re-fracturing his mended relationship with Steve Kerr. The Golden State Warriors’ third-year wing was a driving force behind his team’s much-needed 140-131 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Friday night, matching his season-high with 24 points on 9-of-12 shooting and a perfect 4-of-4 from beyond […]

The Golden State Warriors’ lineup and rotation carousel keeps on spinning. Steve Kerr opened with a different starting five for the fourth straight game on Friday, going with Andrew Wiggins and Dario Saric next to Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney.
