The Golden State Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga: A Return on the Horizon?
In a recent development, the Warriors’ forward, Jonathan Kuminga, continues to battle bilateral knee tendonitis, keeping him out of action for seven consecutive games. However, there’s a glimmer of hope as head coach Steve Kerr shares an optimistic outlook on Kuminga’s potential comeback.
Kerr, who has expressed frustration over the unclear timeline, provided an encouraging update after Tuesday’s practice. He revealed that Kuminga participated in a three-on-three scrimmage before practice, which went well, and then joined the full team practice. The plan is for Kuminga to take part in a five-on-five scrimmage on Wednesday evening, providing a clearer picture of his progress.
But here’s where it gets controversial… Kuminga’s absence has been felt since he exited a game against the San Antonio Spurs on November 12th, playing only 12 minutes due to knee issues. While he hasn’t provided an update, Kerr’s observations during Tuesday’s workout left him pleased. The question remains: when will Kuminga lace up his sneakers again? That decision, Kerr says, lies with the team’s Director of Sports Medicine and Performance, Rick Celebrini, who will assess Kuminga’s condition after Wednesday’s scrimmage.
And this is the part most people miss… Rookie guard Will Richard has noticed Kuminga’s progress, stating, “He’s looking good. We’re seeing him get back on the court more, working out, and getting his bounce back. It’s great to see his progress after all the treatment and rehab.
In other news, veteran forward Draymond Green’s status for Wednesday’s game against the Houston Rockets is still uncertain due to a foot sprain. Green, who originally injured his foot against the Portland Trail Blazers, sat out the win over the Utah Jazz. Kerr remains hopeful, stating, “He practiced and feels better. We’ll list him as questionable, but he’s definitely improving.
Stay tuned, sports fans! Will Kuminga make a triumphant return? And can the Warriors keep their winning streak alive without him? Find out as the season unfolds.
