Jonathan Kuminga injury update (April 1, 2025): Is the Golden State Warriors forward playing tonight against the Memphis Grizzlies?

The Golden State Warriors may face the Memphis Grizzlies without forward Jonathan Kuminga in a high-stakes matchup that could reshape the Western Conference playoff race. Kuminga is listed as questionable with a pelvic contusion after exiting early in the team’s last game against the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors (43-31) and Grizzlies (44-31) are separated by just half a game in the standings, making this a pivotal contest.A win would push Golden State ahead of Memphis for the No. 5 seed, while a loss could tighten the race with the Timberwolves and Clippers close behind. Jonathan Kuminga left the Spurs game with 6:59 remaining in the second quarter and is currently undergoing further evaluation. His absence would be a significant blow for the Warriors, as the 22-year-old has been a key contributor this season. The only other Warrior ruled out is Gary Payton II, who continues to recover from a thumb injury. On the Grizzlies’ side, guard Zyon Pullin remains out, while Brandon Clarke is sidelined for the season with a knee injury. Memphis has struggled lately, losing seven of their last ten games, and another defeat could push them into the play-in tournament. In their last ten matchups, the Golden State Warriors have dominated the Memphis Grizzlies, winning seven games while the Grizzlies managed only three victories. The Warriors' recent form includes a notable 121-113 win on January 5, 2025.
