After struggling for playing time in the early weeks of the postseason, Jonathan Kuminga is emerging as an essential part of the Golden State Warriors' rotation against the Minnesota Timberwolves. On Saturday, May 10, Kuminga came off the bench to give his team a significant boost. In 35 minutes of playing time, Kuminga dropped 30 points, pulled down six rebounds, and dished out three assists.
During his postgame news conference, head coach Steve Kerr praised Kuminga's production. The veteran head coach also noted how important the explosive forward will be to the Warriors throughout their current Western Conference Semifinals series against Minnesota.
