'He's out of the rotation, period': Warriors seem firm on Kuminga benching

Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors and head coach Steve Kerr stand on the sideline in overtime against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center on Nov. 2, 2024, in Houston.

The Warriors opened up their NBA playoff run with an emphatic road win over the Rockets, but the chatter after the game has focused on statements Golden State is making off the court.

Steve Kerr still isn’t playing Jonathan Kuminga, as Sunday’s Game 1 marked the third straight game in which the fourth-year wing didn’t play at all.
