The Golden State Warriors couldn’t repeat the fairytale finish that they had last season. Their campaign ended in six games against the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2023 Western Conference Semifinals. This gave their personnel some free time to talk about the NBA Finals. Draymond Green hosted Warriors head coach Steve Kerr on his podcast […]

The defending-champion Golden State Warriors vastly underperformed expectations this season while the Miami Heat continue defying them. After watching the underdog Heat roar back to beat the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the NBA Finals, Steve Kerr hinted at the overarching reason behind his team’s wholly disappointing title defense. Appearing on The Draymond Green Show Sunday […]

The Golden State Warriors won their fourth NBA Championship in the iteration of their Big 3 and head coach Steve Kerr. The 2022 crown was far different from the previous ones as the journey was more tumultuous, and there were more young guns that were included on their roster. Jordan Poole is a fantastic piece, […]

It’s still unclear who will be running the Golden State Warriors’ front office this summer. Whether Bob Myers decides to stick around, Mike Dunleavy Jr. takes his place or someone else vaults to the top of the team’s basketball operations department won’t change the harshest reality of a pivotal offseason. The Warriors’ ability to restock […]

Steve Kerr balked at the notion he’d ever guarantee a finite role or amount of court time to a player’s agent or other representation. As rumors continue swirling about Jonathan Kuminga’s interest in leaving the Golden State Warriors barring an uptick in minutes next season, though, Kerr laid out exactly what the 20-year-old needs to […]

The Golden State Warriors are beginning an offseason that is filled with questions for the organization. Following their NBA Playoffs exit at the hands of the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the most pressing questions is who will be on the roster to start next season. As of right now, there is a lot of […]

Jonathan Kuminga’s postseason certainly didn’t go how anyone wanted—not him, Dub Nation nor the Golden State Warriors themselves. As he eyes a pivotal, potentially career-altering summer following a disappointing end to 2022-23, though, Kuminga is looking toward a beloved Dubs stalwart as inspiration to improve. The morning after the Warriors were eliminated by the Los […]

The Golden State Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga are expected to discuss his future with the team this offseason, according to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater and Shams Charania. If Kuminga is not guaranteed a bigger role, he could seek a trade. Kuminga played over 10 minutes in just one of the Warriors’ 10 playoff games […]

For all of the Golden State Warriors‘ accomplishments over the past decade, their ability to build their team organically was among the main reasons that people spoke so highly of them. At their genesis they were buoyed by veteran big men in David Lee and Andrew Bogut, who spent the first few seasons of their […]

The Golden State Warriors are into Round 2 of the 2023 NBA Playoffs, facing the Los Angeles Lakers. Their rotation will continue to shrink as the playoffs go on. Jonathan Kuminga is one of the players the Warriors are squeezing out despite some improvements in his second season. The Warriors went 10 deep in Game […]

Anything is possible amid day-to-day variability of the postseason microscope. As the Golden State Warriors’ playoff run continues with Thursday’s crucial Game 2 against the Los Angeles Lakers, though, it still seems like Jonathan Kuminga is on the outside looking in at playing time. The sophomore forward didn’t play in the Warriors’ series-opening loss to […]

Playing smaller doesn’t exactly seem a prudent way for the Golden State Warriors to even this series after Anthony Davis’ monstrous Game 1. His real impact extended even further than ridiculous numbers of 30 points, 23 rebounds, five assists and four blocks—a playoff line only accomplished by Tim Duncan back in the 2003 Finals before […]

Jonathan Kuminga played a grand total of 36 minutes in the Golden State Warriors’ first-round series win over the Sacramento Kings. Could he be in store for a bigger role against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers? Warriors head coach Steve Kerr was asked about the possibility of Kuminga getting extended run against the […]

The Golden State Warriors face a do-or-die Game 7 at Golden 1 Center with potentially much more at stake than hopes of winning back-to-back titles. If the defending champs fall to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday afternoon, the NBA’s defining dynasty of the modern era could suddenly go up in flames. No pressure. Here are […]

The Golden State Warriors will face what amounts to a do-or-die Game 3 against the Sacramento Kings without Draymond Green. The league office dropped the hammer on Green Tuesday night, shocking the defending champions by suspending him for Thursday’s contest after he retaliated to Domantas Sabonis’ ankle grab by stomping on his chest midway through […]

The Golden State Warriors are finally full-strength at just the right time. Andrew Wiggins surely won’t reach last year’s postseason peak in a first-round clash with the Sacramento Kings, but his rapid re-acclimation after two months removed from game action is the defending champions’ only major personnel concern entering the playoffs. Steve Kerr has the […]

Like many within the Warriors organization, Stephen Curry is liking what he’s seeing from Jonathan Kuminga. Kuminga enjoyed a starring role in the Warriors’ road win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night as he scored a team-high 22 points in addition to three rebounds, one assist and two steals. The two-way Warriors prospect also […]

It’s all coming together for Jonathan Kuminga. The 20-year-old continued his steady, season-long ascent on Wednesday in the Golden State Warriors’ crucial 127-125 win over the Dallas Mavericks, finishing with a team-high 22 points, three rebounds and two steals off the bench. Kuminga shot 9-of-11 from the field and drained two of his three tries […]

The Golden State Warriors earned their biggest win of the season on Wednesday, holding off Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks late to secure a 127-125 victory. The win not only marks the defending champions’ first consecutive road triumphs of 2022-23, but clinches a head-to-head tie-breaker with Dallas that could give Golden State a crucial […]

There weren’t too many things to be happy about in the Golden State Warriors’ 133-119 loss against the Ja Morant-less Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night. Apart from the fact that this was the Dubs’ 10th straight road loss, this was also Memphis’ second consecutive victory over the defending champs. In spite of another devastating loss for […]

Jonathan Kuminga missed three games earlier this month due to a left ankle injury. The Golden State Warriors forward is now dealing with soreness in his right ankle, and he has popped up on the injury report ahead of Saturday’s marquee matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. As such, the question on the minds of Dubs […]

The Golden State Warriors have missed the services of second-year small forward Jonathan Kuminga over the past three games. The 20-year-old has been dealing with a sprained left ankle, and while he has been ramping up of late, his status for Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers remained up in the air. As such, […]

The Golden State Warriors will be looking to make it back-to-back wins on Monday when they return to action against the Phoenix Suns. This is after the Warriors came up with a big win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday to maintain their hold on the sixth seed in the Western Conference. Unfortunately for the […]

The Golden State Warriors are back in the friendly confines of the Bay, set to welcome the league-leading Milwaukee Bucks to Chase Center on Saturday for a battle between basketball’s two most recent champions. Steve Kerr’s team enters the action at 34-33, tied with the Dallas Mavericks for sixth in the Western Conference after following […]

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga didn’t play in Thursday night’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies after injuring his ankle in the team’s pregame warmups. Just like Kevin Durant a few days before, Kuminga suffered an ankle ailment prior to tip-off. The 20-year-old rolled his right ankle while warming up, according to Kylen Mills of […]

Warm ups in the NBA can be a very dangerous activity. For those seeking confirmation, just ask Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has emerged as a key rotation player for the Dubs in his second NBA season. Over his last ten games, Kuminga is averaging 11.4 points on 51.7% shooting from the field and 40% from behind the three-point arc. And in Thursday’s huge win against the Clippers, Kuminga scored 19 […]

The Golden State Warriors finished a five-game home stand undefeated by holding off the New Orleans Pelicans for a 108-99 victory. Here are three key reactions—with related film and analysis, of course—from another pivotal Dubs win as the stretch run of the regular season continues. Klay Thompson, Golden State’s alpha dog Thompson definitely isn’t an […]

LeBron James has called his rebuilt team’s de facto second half “the most important” regular-season stretch of his career. Do the Golden State Warriors feel similarly in wake of a wholly disappointing first first four months of 2022-23? The answer better be yes, and not just because the defending champions’ hopes of repeating—and winning an […]

The revamped LA Clippers proved too much for the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena, sending the defending champions into the All-Star break at .500 with a 134-124 loss. Here are three key reactions from the fatigued, short-handed Warriors’ final game before a much-needed respite in advance of the season’s stretch run. Bench […]

The Golden State Warriors didn’t make the league-altering splash several other Western Conference playoff contenders did at the trade deadline. They instead settled for a move on the margins, bringing back Gary Payton II to round out Steve Kerr’s rotation in a four-team deal that sent James Wiseman to the Detroit Pistons, making a chip […]

The short-handed Golden State Warriors were blown out by Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Thursday night, losing steam after a hot start en route to a 134-117 loss. Here are three reactions from the Dubs’ wholly unsurprising defeat in the Mile High City. An inevitable blowout loss Denver broke the game open with […]

The NBA announced the roster for the 2023 Rising Stars Game during All-Star Weekend. Golden State Warriors sophomore Jonathan Kuminga did not make the cut. The omission hasn’t sat well with Dub Nation. The list includes 10 sophomores, with a few names that Warriors fans would feel can arguably be bumped in favor of Kuminga. […]

Jonathan Kuminga’s been blessed with top-tier physical tools for an NBA wing. Just 20 years old, he’s already arguably the Golden State Warriors’ best on-ball defender, easily capable of switching across four positions. Kuminga is a slick, creative ball handler for his size despite clear room for growth, and regularly flashes natural passing chops that […]

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is widely regarded as one of the better defenders in the NBA. Although he doesn’t have a consistent role in the Warriors’ rotation due to their depth and the number of veterans on the roster, he’s faced a number of the league’s most difficult matchups. Consequently, his assessment of […]

Jonathan Kuminga has already established himself as a pivotal cog for the Golden State Warriors on their arduous quest for back-to-back titles. Long-term, though, the No. 7 overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft has much broader and brighter ambitions for his ultimate role in the NBA than the one he’s carved out with the […]

The Golden State Warriors are running out of time for silver linings. Sunday’s collapse of a loss to Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets tied them for 10th-place with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West, on verge of not just missing the playoffs but falling out of the play-in tournament if 2022-23 suddenly came […]

The Golden State Warriors fell apart on Sunday against the Brooklyn Nets, crunch-time once again proving the difference in a 120-116 loss. Here are three key reactions from another major missed opportunity for the defending champions, just a few days after collapsing late to the Boston Celtics. Awful crunch-time collapse The Warriors led the Nets […]

The Golden State Warriors are attempting to pull off one of the trickiest roster-building exercises in professional sports.
