Jonathan Kuminga Sidelined for Warriors-Spurs Game Due to Bilateral Knee Tendonitis

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been ruled out for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs due to bilateral patellar (knee) tendonitis. Kuminga, who missed the second half of Wednesday's game, is not expected to have a long-term absence, but the Warriors are exercising caution given his recent knee soreness. This season, Kuminga has averaged 13.8 points on 47.8 percent shooting, with 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 27.7 minutes across 13 games, including 12 starts. Coach Steve Kerr recently moved him to the bench, where he played just 12 scoreless minutes on Wednesday before being pulled. The Warriors are currently on a six-game road trip, with upcoming games against the Pelicans, Magic, and Heat.
