The Golden State Warriors received unfortunate news about one of their key players. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic (via Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar), star forward Jonathan Kuminga’s recovery timeline for his ankle injury has been extended, potentially keeping him out until after the All-Star break.
“Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported that Kuminga is ‘still weeks away’ from returning, as his ankle remains wrapped and he has yet to progress to any significant on-court activity. Slater mentioned that Kuminga ‘might’ be able to return after the All-Star break,” Bachar wrote.
Warriors: Kuminga’s original return date was early Feb.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo native suffered a sprained ankle during pregame warmups ahead of the Warriors’ matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies on January 4. Although he played in that game, he has been sidelined since their January 5 contest against the Sacramento Kings.
Kuminga was initially projected to return three weeks after being sidelined. However, that timeline has already passed, and his absence has now been extended by more than three additional weeks.

Warriors likely to play young stars more without Kuminga
This is an especially unfortunate time for the Warriors to be without their third-leading scorer. The 22-year-old is having a breakout season, averaging career highs of 16.8 points and five rebounds per game. His ability to aggressively attack the basket and create his own shot has been crucial for a Warriors squad working to bounce back from a significant midseason slump. In his absence, Gui Santos, Moses Moody, and Kyle Anderson are expected to take on much of his playing time.
