Golden State Warriors Await Jonathan Kuminga's Return After 61-Day Injury Absence

Head coach Steve Kerr emphasizes patience as Kuminga nears recovery from a severe ankle sprain, with no confirmed timeline for his return.

Jonathan Kuminga has been sidelined since January 4 due to a significant ankle sprain, missing 29 consecutive games.
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr revealed that Kuminga's injury was more serious than initially thought and recovery has taken longer than expected.
Kuminga has resumed daily workouts and is reportedly close to returning, but the team has not confirmed if he will play in the upcoming homestand starting March 8 against Detroit.
Before his injury, Kuminga was in the best form of his career, averaging 19.8 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists over his last 17 games while shooting efficiently from the field.
With Jimmy Butler's impactful addition to the roster, the Warriors are balancing their lineup dynamics, emphasizing Kuminga's gradual reintegration without rushing him back.
