Injury Update: Jonathan Kuminga (right foot sprain), James Wiseman (left ankle sprain) to be re-evaluated in one week

The Warriors will be without Jonathan Kuminga (right foot sprain) and James Wiseman (left ankle sprain) for at least another week,

For Wednesday’s contest against the Detroit Pistons, the Golden State Warriors will have a thin rotation. Six players are expected to miss the contest due to injury. Before the game, the Warriors provided injury updates for a group of players, including All-Stars Stephen Curry and Andrew Wiggins.

The Warriors also revealed injury updates for young players Jonathan Kuminga and James Wiseman. 

Wiseman has missed the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. Kuminga has missed one contest with a right foot sprain. On Wednesday, the Warriors announced both Wiseman and Kuminga will be re-evaluated in a week. 

That means Wiseman and Kuminga will miss at least the final three games of Golden State’s homestand against the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic and Phoenix Suns.

Via @MarcJSpears on Twitter: 

Prior to their injuries, both Wiseman and Kuminga were playing a role in Steve Kerr’s rotation. Since being recalled from the G League, Wiseman played in seven consecutive games, averaging 7.4 points on 64.7% shooting from the field with 3.6 rebounds in 12.7 minutes per game. During that span, Wiseman registered a career high in scoring with 30 points against the Brooklyn Nets. 

Kuminga has been blossoming over Golden State’s recent stretch of games, playing 16 or more minutes in his last five games. The second-year forward averaged 9.3 points on 48.8% shooting from the field with 4.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 24 minutes per contest over that stretch.

With so many players out, Ty Jerome, Anthony Lamb and Patrick Baldwin Jr. will likely continue to play an expanded role off the bench. 

The Warriors are set to host the Pistons at 7 p.m. PT on Wednesday night in San Francisco.

Injury Report: Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, JaMychal Green all out vs. Hawks on Monday

The Golden State Warriors will be missing multiple players due to injury on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Despite riding a four-game winning streak at home, the Golden State Warriors’ injury report continues to grow. For Monday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks, the Warriors will be without five players from the rotation. 

After missing 13 consecutive games due to an adductor injury and an illness, Andrew Wiggins is expected to remain out on Monday against the Hawks. James Wiseman (ankle), JaMychal Green (lower leg infection) and Steph Curry (shoulder) will also remain out against the Hawks. 

The latest member of the Warriors to join the injury report is Jonathan Kuminga. The second-year forward will miss Monday’s contest at San Francisco’s Chase Center due to a right foot sprain. 

Via @anthonyVslater on Twitter:

With multiple players missing due to injury, Kuminga has played a significant role in Golden State’s rotation during the recent stretch. Along with helping spark the Warriors’ defense, Kuminga has tallied nine or more points in his last three games. During Golden State’s four-game win streak, Kuminga is averaging 9.8 points on 56% shooting from the field with 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and one steal in 21.7 minutes per game. 

With Kuminga and four others expected to be out for Monday’s game, Steve Kerr will have to get creative with his rotation against the Hawks. Rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr. could likely have an extended role along with players like Ty Jerome, Anthony Lamb and Moses Moody.

Kerr will likely lean on Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney against All-Star guard Trae Young and the Hawks. 

The Warriors are slated to host the Hawks at 7 p.m. PT on Monday evening at Chase Center.

Although the Warriors suffered another blowout on the road, James Wiseman registered a new career-high with 30 points against the Nets. Watch all the highlights here.

Without players like Steph Curry (shoulder), Andrew Wiggins (adductor) and Klay Thompson (rest), it wasn’t pretty for the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday against Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets.

James Wiseman took advantage.

Wiseman led the game with 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting from the field in 28 minutes off the bench against the Nets. The Memphis product even showed off his long-distance shooting, drilling his lone attempt from beyond the arc. Wiseman added six boards, two assists and a block on Wednesday night during his career-high performance. 

Watch all of the highlights from Wiseman’s career-high via YouTube: 

Prior to Wednesday evening, Wiseman has only notched over 20 points twice in his young career. As a rookie, Wiseman recorded games with 25 and 20 points.

Without several key players due to injury, including Steph Curry (shoulder), Klay Thompson (rest) and Andrew Wiggins (adductor), it wasn’t pretty for the Golden State Warriors in the second leg of a road back-to-back against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

Although the Warriors responded with some fight in the second half, Brooklyn’s commanding lead helped them cruise to a dominant victory on Wednesday night, 143-113.

The former No. 2 overall pick recorded a new career-high in scoring with 30 points on 12-of-14 shooting from the field in 28 minutes off the bench. Wiseman added six rebounds, two rebounds and an assist against the Nets. Wiseman even showed off his range, hitting a jumper from beyond the arc on his way to a new career high.

Despite Wiseman’s performance, it wasn’t enough to solve Golden State’s problems on the road. The Warriors’ loss in Brooklyn finished their six-game road swing with a 1-5 record. Golden State’s road record has now fallen to 3-16 on the season.
