Jonathan Kuminga's season has been tumultuous, especially as he heads into restricted free agency this summer. After posting solid numbers, an ankle sprain sidelined him for two months. Upon returning, he faced tough competition for minutes from new acquisition Jimmy Butler, who took over Kuminga's role. With both players struggling as shooters, Coach Steve Kerr found it challenging to incorporate Kuminga into existing rotations, a situation further complicated by Draymond Green's presence.

Despite these challenges, Kuminga managed to contribute in the playoffs, scoring 11 points in Game 2 when Butler was injured, and starting Game 3. However, his participation varies with Butler's health. Kuminga was a surprise scratch in Game 5 due to a migraine, but he has since recovered and is expected to be available for Game 6 against the Rockets, which could propel the Warriors into the next round.
