Kuminga Nears Return, Set for 5-on-5 Scrimmage After Knee Tendinitis

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is nearing his return from bilateral knee tendinitis, despite missing his seventh consecutive game Wednesday. Kuminga participated in 3-on-3 drills and full practice Tuesday, and is scheduled for a 5-on-5 scrimmage Wednesday evening, typically the final hurdle before game action. Coach Steve Kerr provided an encouraging update after previously noting Kuminga was 'not moving well.' Before his injury, Kuminga averaged 17.2 points in his first 12 starts, though his production dropped to 6.0 points in the four games prior to being sidelined.
