Warriors might grant Jonathan Kuminga his wish after key Jimmy Butler update

Jonathan Kuminga has been the third man off the bench for Steve Kerr over the first two preseason games, but his limited role could be all about to change as the Golden State Warriors prepare to face the Los Angeles Lakers again on Sunday.

Kerr announced on Friday that Jimmy Butler will miss Sunday's game due to personal reasons, potentially allowing for Kuminga to gain much more opportunity as he looks to build a more consistent role entering the regular season.
