Fares well in return Kuminga (soreness) recorded 16 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 128-106 preseason loss to Detroit.

Impact After missing Minnesota's previous two exhibitions due to soreness, Kuminga showed little rust in his return, missing just one field-goal attempt while connecting twice from beyond the arc. His efficient performance and 22-minute workload were positive developments as he works toward being fully ready for the regular season.

Starting Wednesday Kuminga (soreness) is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game against Detroit.

Impact Kuminga missed the previous two games due to general soreness but will return to the starting lineup Wednesday. The forward should see a fair amount of playing time in the first half, though his workload may be limited given the exhibition setting.

Ruled out for Monday Kuminga (general soreness) won't play in Monday's preseason game against the Knicks, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact "[Kuminga] is dealing with a little bit of bumps and bruises that we're just being overly cautious with," said head coach Chris Finch when asked why Kuminga would miss Monday's exhibition. It sounds like there's a decent chance Kuminga will be able to get back out there for Wednesday's preseason meeting with the Pistons.

Struggles in second start Kuminga finished with two points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three assists, one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 123-112 preseason loss to the Pacers.

Impact Kuminga got the starting nod for the second straight game, another indication that he is likely to hold onto that spot when the season proper begins. Although he attempted the second-most shots behind Anthony Edwards and Jaden McDaniels, Kuminga's fantasy flaws were on full display, managing to connect on just one shot from nine attempts. Assuming he is given the green light to start on opening night, Kuminga is worth a look late in drafts, remembering that if and when his shot isn't falling, he has very little to fall back on in terms of peripheral production.

Scores eight points in preseason debut Kuminga contributed eight points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and two rebounds across 14 minutes in Monday's 116-97 preseason win over the Bucks.

Impact Kuminga started at power forward and scored Minnesota's first points of the game, finishing a drive off a feed from Ball. He didn't see much offensive volume after that but was efficient when called upon, making both of his attempts inside the arc and all four of his free throws while committing no turnovers. Kuminga's place in the starting five is particularly notable as Minnesota begins evaluating how its revamped frontcourt will fit together during the preseason, and it wouldn't be surprising if he opens the 2026-27 regular season in a starting role.
