Warriors injury issues leaves Jonathan Kuminga in impossible situation
New Orleans Pelicans v Golden State Warriors | Lachlan Cunningham/GettyImagesJonathan Kuminga made his anticipated return to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday night, but the young forward was left in an impossible situation to succeed after missing the last seven games due to knee tendinitis.
A knee issue for third-year big man Trayce Jackson-Davis left the Warriors with only one recognized center available against the New Orleans Pelicans. The one that was available -- Quinten Post -- played less than 17 minutes, leaving Kuminga to play some small-ball minutes at the five in a role he would have seldom been used to through his career to date.
