Kuminga, 22, participated in practice for a second straight day on Thursday but again wasn’t cleared for live contact. The Warriors aren’t going to activate him before he scrimmages with the team, effectively ruling him out for Friday night’s contest in Sacramento.

"Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, who suffered a sprained right ankle on January 4 vs. Memphis (Grizzlies) and has missed the last 21 games, returned to team practice this evening at Chase Center for the first time since sustaining the injury," Warriors' PR shared via Twitter/X.
