The Golden State Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Round 2 playoff series. The Warriors are on the ropes as they are trailing 1-3 in the series. Hence, the tie could be decided tonight at the Target Center. The Golden State are standing on the verge of elimination, so they are required to deliver their A game to push the contest to Game 6. However, it would be a herculean task for them, as an already daunting challenge has been heightened even more due to the injury setback of Stephen Curry. The star guard has been ruled out of the game. In the absence of Curry, Jimmy Butler will have to stand up and showcase his best, but he won't be able to do it all by himself. A helping hand from Jonathan Kuminga can change things and turn the game in favour of the Warriors. As Kuminga can prove to be decisive, let's take note of his status for the game to figure out whether he will play tonight or not.

Jonathan Kuminga Injury Report
Jonathan Kuminga is not listed in the injury report released by the Warriors ahead of Game 5 against the Timberwolves. Thus, he will most certainly be in the starting lineup.
Kuminga has come out to become a revelation in the last few games and he has the ability to turn the tide. But the question is can he do it in the most clutch game, which is scheduled to take place tonight?
The Power Forward has been averaging 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game this season. While these are par figures, he can deliver higher numbers, and he will be required to pull off his best tonight.
