Golden State Warriors
Forward Jonathan Kuminga is expected to be available Tuesday after missing Saturday’s victory over the Suns, according to The Athletic’s Nick Friedell. The 23-year-old participated in the Warriors’ film session on Sunday and has appeared in only one of the club’s last five games as head coach Steve Kerr continues to shuffle his rotation.
Friedell added that center Al Horford (back) and guard Seth Curry (glute) remain sidelined. Horford has played 13 games in his first season with Golden State, appearing in just two of the past 13 contests while posting career-low scoring and rebounding figures. Curry, who signed with the Warriors on Dec. 1, has logged two games, scoring 14 points in his debut and going scoreless in his second outing.
Milwaukee Bucks
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo is still out with the right calf strain that has kept him off the floor since early December, but he took part in the Bucks’ shootaround before Sunday’s matchup with Minnesota. Head coach Doc Rivers has said the team will proceed cautiously with the star forward, though Sunday’s participation is viewed as progress.
Orlando Magic
Guard Jalen Suggs is listed as questionable for Monday’s game at Golden State with a left hip contusion after missing the last two contests. Forward Tristan Da Silva is also questionable due to a shoulder contusion.
Dallas Mavericks
Rookie No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg is questionable for Monday’s meeting with New Orleans because of a back contusion. The 18-year-old has averaged 27.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.8 blocks over his past four games.
Dallas could also be without guard Klay Thompson (left knee soreness), swingman Max Christie (illness) and two-way players Moussa Cisse and Miles Kelly, all of whom are listed as questionable.
Center Dereck Lively II underwent successful surgery on his right foot in London. The Mavericks announced earlier this month that the procedure would end the 7-footer’s season.
