Jalen Johnson
February 2026
Jalen Johnson left with a left hip flexor injury and was ruled out after evaluation, with no firm timetable yet for missed games. Quin Snyder said there was enough concern to keep him out; Johnson posted 5 points in 5.5 minutes, while Kuminga capitalized with 27 points in his Hawks debut as Atlanta won 119-98.
Kristaps Porzingis
February 2026
Golden State expect Kristaps Porzingis to debut against Boston, but Stephen Curry may miss additional time after being unable to take part in a live scrimmage due to a knee issue, with another MRI possible. Kerr said Curry was “not where he needed to be” and the team would reassess after more treatment, potentially consulting Dr. Rick Celebrini and considering additional imaging. Porzingis, acquired at the deadline in a deal involving Kuminga, has managed illness and Achilles tendonitis and is averaging 17.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 17 games.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Newly acquired Hawks forward Jonathan Kuminga will miss at least one week with a left knee bone bruise, with evaluation planned after the 2026 All-Star break. Atlanta says the injury occurred on Jan. 22 while he was with Golden State. Kuminga and Buddy Hield arrived in the deal that sent Kristaps Porziņģis to the Warriors. Onyeka Okongwu returned versus Charlotte wearing a protective mask after a dental fracture.

January 2026
Golden State reportedly landed Porziņģis for size and stability, while Kuminga gets his requested move and Hield is included in the outgoing package to Atlanta. The write-up ties Kuminga’s trade to his reduced role and prior expectations he would be moved. Porziņģis is described as limited by health in Atlanta and last played January 7, while still providing spacing as a big.
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green
January 2026
Curry and Green were held out of a loss to the Timberwolves due to knee soreness and a back issue, adding to a depleted rotation already missing Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga. Kerr said Curry’s knee worsened enough Monday morning to rule him out, with optimism both could return next game, while the broader context is a compressed schedule and multiple key injuries.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Kuminga will miss more time after suffering a bone bruise and hyperextended left knee, with re-evaluation timing to be set in coming days. He was injured at Dallas and had imaging on Friday. He had only just re-entered the rotation after Jimmy Butler’s season-ending injury.
Jonathan Kuminga
January 2026
Kuminga injured his left ankle and knee on a drive against Dallas and will undergo imaging, adding uncertainty to Golden State’s rotation after Jimmy Butler’s season-ending ACL tear. Kuminga stayed in briefly after the incident, then exited and did not return; Kerr confirmed an MRI while noting Kuminga had just re-entered the rotation after a month out, prompted by Butler’s injury.
Jimmy Butler
January 2026
Butler suffered a season-ending right ACL tear and will need surgery, forcing the Warriors to adjust rotations while trying to maintain momentum from a strong stretch of form. He landed awkwardly after contact, MRI confirmed the tear, and Kerr said the group will adapt by testing lineups, potentially reintroducing Kuminga, and leaning more on Horford, Melton, and developing bench pieces to cover Butler’s two-way impact.

The league fined Kuminga 35,000 for inappropriate contact and pursuit of a referee before halftime against Portland. The incident drew a technical and ejection with discipline announced by Basketball Operations. Golden State will stress composure as rotations settle.
Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors)
October 2025
Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors have finally ended their contract standoff, agreeing to a two-year, $48.5 million deal. The agreement avoids the qualifying offer route and keeps the former No. 7 pick under team control for at least this season.
Though the deal includes a team option, reports say it’s essentially a formality and will be declined next summer, making Kuminga an unrestricted free agent. The contract also keeps him tradable, with discussions expected ahead of the deadline once he’s eligible in January.
