The 19-year-old has now notched double-figures in scoring in four consecutive games for the Warriors.

With Green expected to miss the next two weeks with a lower back and calf injury, Kuminga could continue to get run in Golden State’s starting lineup alongside Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins.

On Thursday, the Warriors will open a back-to-back at San Francisco’s Chase Center with a contest against the Indiana Pacers at 7 p.m. PT.
