Jonathan Kuminga Set to Rejoin Warriors Rotation After Three-Game Bench Stint

Jonathan Kuminga is set to rejoin the Golden State Warriors' rotation Thursday night against the Suns, as coach Steve Kerr praised his hard work after three consecutive games on the bench. Kuminga, 23, the team's most athletic player, had been sidelined with bilateral knee tendinitis earlier this season and struggled in limited action upon his return, leading to his recent benching. Kerr emphasized, "He needs to be back out there," as the Warriors lost two of three games without him. Kuminga signed a 2-year, $48.5 million contract and remains in potential trade discussions.
