Draymond Green has a history of getting himself kicked out of games when Steph Curry is unavailable. That might extend to games when Jimmy Butler is out. The Warriors’ embattled power forward came into a tied game with the Dallas Mavericks and committed two personal fouls and a flagrant in 1:52. Dallas rode the extra free throws to an 11-0 run that the Warriors couldn’t overcome in a 123-115 loss.

Green finished with four points, three turnovers and six fouls — plus a flagrant. The Warriors lost their second straight game and lost their second forward in three games. Jonathan Kuminga had scored 10 points in nine minutes when he had to leave the game with injuries to his ankle and knee. He finished with a plus/minus of +18, second to Melton’s +22 among Warriors players. Curry put the Warriors on his back with 38 points and eight three-pointers, while new starter Brandin Podziemski had a 10-assist game. Curry’s 12 4th-quarter points weren’t enough to get Golden State past a huge game from Naji Marshall — 30 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, 10-for-12 shooting — and Dwight Powell turning back the clock with 10 points and 12 rebounds.

Dallas had 54 rebounds to the Warriors’ 35, and shot 30 free throws to the Warriors’ 18. The bench shot 3-for-16 from deep, Kuminga’s injury derailed the already-tenuous rotations, and Gary Payton II was an improbable -32 in his 17 minutes on the floor while missing three shots within two feet of the hoop. Melton was once again one of the Warriors best players, scoring his 22 points in 23 minutes, shooting 9-for-15 with two assists and two steals. He may be the most pleasant surprise for the Warriors all year, while unintentionally placing himself in the rumor mill for a deadline deal — though his cheap minimum contract paradoxically might make him harder to trade.

Kuminga came in and sparked an 8-0 run that featured two different and-ones from the young forward. Why was it that this guy couldn’t see the floor for a month?

JK WINDMILL ALLEY-OOP 🤯 pic.twitter.com/yHpdjn4ejO— Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) January 23, 2026 Kuminga had what initially looked like a cute moment with the Dubs up 43-39. He got fouled and while grimacing, temporarily borrowed the seat of a little girl to rest. He got up to drain both free throws, then left the game minutes later. Relieved to see him head for the locker room, the Mavericks went on a 10-0 run. For the second game in a row, the Warriors lit it up in the third quarter, scoring 39 points, with 13 coming from Curry and eight from Melton. The Warriors shot 16-for-24 and committed only a single turnover, while Marshall and Dubs-killer Brandon Williams kept Dallas close with a combined 18 points of their own. Moses Moody hit a big shot to cap a 13-4 run to start the quarter, and is now shooting 17-for-29 from three-point range in his last five games. Podz finds Moody for the open…

No need to post mirror selfies here.

The Jonathan Kuminga comeback feel good story has, unfortunately, hit a snag. Late in the second quarter of the Golden State Warriors road game against the Dallas Mavericks, Kuminga came up lame after a transition opportunity. He tried to walk it off, then signaled to the bench for a sub, and walked to the locker room. When the second half commenced, the Warriors announced that Kuminga had left knee soreness, and would not return to the game. After an absence of more than a month, Kuminga returned to the rotation on Tuesday night and was one of the few bright spots in the team’s blowout loss to the Toronto Raptors, scoring an efficient 20 points in just 21 minutes. He was fantastic in his short stint against the Mavs, scoring 10 points in just nine minutes, while shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free throw line, with two steals. With Jimmy Butler III out for the season with an ACL tear, and with the trade deadline exactly two weeks away, Kuminga has a great opportunity in front of him, to either become a key part of the rotation once again, or make himself attractive to a team that might trade for him. Hopefully the knee ailment is really just soreness and not an injury, and he can get back on the court shortly.
