As the Golden State Warriors have now surpassed the end of the first month of their season, they are still without dynamic young forward Jonathan Kuminga, who has already missed six straight games with a knee injury and, as of now, has no solidified timetable for his return.
While the Warriors have, for the most part, played better with Kuminga out of the lineup, his absence presents one serious risk as the trade deadline creeps closer and closer. Kuminga is easily Golden State's most tradeable asset, and, if he is unable to play and perform well before the deadline arrives, the team could find themselves stuck with no serious suitors when the time comes.
