The Bay Area isn’t just chanting comeback. It’s demanding a resurrection. Game 7 looms, the stakes are sky-high, and prayers are louder than ever. But this isn’t just about the Golden State Warriors battling the Houston Rockets. It’s about Jonathan Kuminga breaking free. After a bizarre playoff run filled with vanishing acts, he’s due for a spark. Two losses since his last appearance in Game 3. Thus, with chaos in the rotation, all eyes are on Steve Kerr to finally unleash the storm he’s been holding back.

However, from 3-1 up to 3-3, the Warriors have lost control, while the Rockets have stolen the show. Desperate for answers, Golden State might finally gamble on JK. He’s barely played, so his return would feel like a wild card. But first, his health could decide everything. Let’s check.

Steve Kerr revealed that Jonathan Kuminga had only a migraine before Game 6 and cleared him to play. Yet, he stayed glued to the bench as the Warriors crumbled. Now, with everything on the line in Game 7, Kerr finally admits Kuminga’s return is “100 percent on the table,” per The Athletic’s Anthony Slater. There’s no health excuse left.

Meanwhile, Golden State is out of tricks and running out of time. Kuminga may not be a secret weapon, but he’s one of the few remaining cards. Yes, Jimmy Butler does it better, but the Rockets keep exposing gaps the Warriors cannot plug. Experience once mattered. Now, it is survival mode. And Kuminga might just be their last swing.

Now, let’s take a look at the injury report of both teams ahead of Game 7’s mega clash at Toyota Center on Sunday.

Other than Jonathan Kuminga, what’s the injury status at the Warriors, and what’s going on with Houston?

The injury report stays the same for both teams heading into Game 7—nothing to disrupt the drama. The Houston Rockets are still missing Jock Landale and Jae’Sean Tate. While both bring depth, their postseason minutes would likely be limited anyway. Houston’s health has held steady, and they’ve leaned on every bit of it in this tight series.

Starting 5:

• Fred VanVleet (PG)
• Jalen Green (SG)
• Amen Thompson (SF)
• Dillon Brooks (PF)
• Alperen Sengun (C)

For the Warriors, forward Butler has shaken off his pelvic contusion and is now fully cleared. He might not be at 100%, but he’s good to go. Meanwhile, Stephen Curry and Gary Payton II have both been battling thumb injuries, but they’ve kept playing without missing a beat. The Warriors, at least health-wise, seem ready for the fight.

Starting 5:

• Stephen Curry (PG)
• Brandin Podziemski (SG)
• Buddy Hield (SF)
• Jimmy Butler (PF)
• Draymond Green (C)

Game 7 is ready for an epic showdown, and the Golden State Warriors’ fate hinges on a gamble. With both teams at full strength, it’s a battle of survival. However, the question remains: will Jonathan Kuminga rise or remain a mere wildcard in Steve Kerr’s grand scheme?
