Warriors Rout Bulls as Steve Kerr Benches a Healthy Jonathan Kuminga

Kerr described the scratch as a rotation choice, with league reports noting Golden State may gauge Kuminga’s market once he becomes trade-eligible Jan. 15.

Overview

  • Golden State beat Chicago 123-91 at the United Center, capping back-to-back road wins behind balanced scoring and stifling defense.
  • Jonathan Kuminga recorded a healthy DNP as Kerr went with Gui Santos and other reserves, and the forward said he will stay ready for future opportunities.
  • Brandin Podziemski led the Warriors with 21 points off the bench, Quinten Post added 19 with five 3-pointers, and Pat Spencer posted 12 points and six assists.
  • Jimmy Butler returned from a two-game absence and contributed 19 points, eight rebounds and six assists, while Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Al Horford sat out.
  • Curry and Green are expected to return for Friday’s home game, and multiple outlets report the Warriors are likely to explore Kuminga trade options once he becomes eligible next month.
