Jonathan Kuminga is the youngest player in history to make the starting five in the playoffs
Kuminga, who is 19 years and 213 days old, was in the starting five for the Warriors in Game 3 of the series against the Memphis Grizzlies(142-11, 2-1). The starting five in the NBA first began to be tracked in the 1970/71 season.
Kuminga finished with 18 points (8-of-10 from the field) and became the fourth U-20 player in history to score 18 points in a playoff game. The Warriors forward matched Kobe Bryant (three times), Tony Parker (three times) and Carmelo Anthony (twice).
