Kuminga did not play in Tuesday's win over the Grizzlies, freeing up additional minutes for Gui Santos and Buddy Hield. However, neither player did enough to impact fantasy basketball in expanded roles. Neither Santos nor Hield is worth adding, especially with the Warriors' starting lineup at full strength.
Golden State's Buddy Hield responded with the same gesture and is also being investigated.
The NBA is looking into Ja Morant and Buddy Hield after appearing to use finger gun motions at each other during a heated exchange in the Golden State Warriors' win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night.
Kuminga has been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Warriors down a rotation player on the wing. Buddy Hield and Gui Santos should play additional minutes off the bench. Neither has been particularly impressive this season from a fantasy standpoint, so neither should be viewed as a must-stream player.
After taking a hard fall on Sunday, Kuminga was initially ruled out with an ankle injury. The Warriors are now calling it a pelvic contusion. There is a chance that he returns to the lineup to take on Memphis with a chance to move into fifth place in the West on the line. If not, Buddy Hield and Gui Santos will take on extra minutes.
