Injury Report: Jonathan Kuminga, Andrew Wiggins, James Wiseman, JaMychal Green all out vs. Hawks on Monday

Despite riding a four-game winning streak at home, the Golden State Warriors’ injury report continues to grow. For Monday’s contest against the Atlanta Hawks, the Warriors will be without five players from the rotation. 

After missing 13 consecutive games due to an adductor injury and an illness, Andrew Wiggins is expected to remain out on Monday against the Hawks. James Wiseman (ankle), JaMychal Green (lower leg infection) and Steph Curry (shoulder) will also remain out against the Hawks. 

The latest member of the Warriors to join the injury report is Jonathan Kuminga. The second-year forward will miss Monday’s contest at San Francisco’s Chase Center due to a right foot sprain.

With multiple players missing due to injury, Kuminga has played a significant role in Golden State’s rotation over the recent stretch. Along with helping spark the Warriors’ defense, Kuminga has tallied nine or more points in his last three games. During Golden State’s four-game win streak, Kuminga is averaging 9.8 points on 56% shooting from the field with 4.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and one steal in 21.7 minutes per game. 

With Kuminga and four others expected to be out for Monday’s game, Steve Kerr will have to get creative with his rotation against the Hawks. Rookie Patrick Baldwin Jr. could likely have an extended role along with players like Ty Jerome, Anthony Lamb and Moses Moody.

Kerr will likely lean on players like Jordan Poole, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney against All-Star guard Trae Young and the Hawks. 

The Warriors are slated to host the Hawks at 7 p.m. PT on Monday evening at Chase Center.
