Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr had high praise for Jonathan Kuminga during Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and he made sure ABC’s Katie George relayed it mid-broadcast. Kerr lauded Kuminga not just for his Game 2 performance but for the maturity he’s shown while being benched in recent weeks. “He stayed ready, kept working, and found his moment,” Katie said of Kerr’s comments.
With Stephen Curry sidelined until at least Game 6, the Warriors are desperately looking for others to step up. Kuminga’s energy off the bench in Game 2 earned him another shot in the rotation, even as he came off the bench again Saturday night.
Meanwhile, Trayce Jackson-Davis started Game 3 after an efficient 15-point effort in Game 2, and Jimmy Butler led the team in first-quarter scoring. The game opened with a 21-point tie after one—proof that Golden State’s rotation shuffle may be keeping things interesting.
