Oklahoma City Thunder vs. Golden State Warriors - News - January 02, 2026 | FOX Sports

Jonathan Kuminga - Ruled out Friday Kuminga (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Kuminga was a late addition to the injury report due to lower-back soreness, and he won't suit up for the front end of this back-to-back set. His next opportunity to play will come Saturday against the Jazz. The 23-year-old forward hasn't seen the court since Dec. 18, so his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the Golden State rotation.
