Jonathan Kuminga will remain sidelined for the Golden State Warriors' matchup against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday.

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 and has missed the last 21 games, returned to team practice this evening at Chase Center for the first time since sustaining the injury," the statement read. "His return to game action will be based on his continued progress and physical readiness."

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is progressing well in his rehab from a sprained ankle in January.

Yet, Draymond Green has boldly declared that his team will upset the apple cart and hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June. Green believes the acquisition of Jimmy Butler has infused a new level of belief within the Warriors and that they have the requisite tools to win the title.

Steve Kerr kept things real when discussing Jonathan Kuminga and his expected return to the court. Golden State Warriors fans will know that Kuminga is one of the young and upcoming stars in the NBA and has established himself on both ends of the court.
