Warriors Sit Jonathan Kuminga in Bulls Rout as Kerr Reshapes Rotation

Kerr frames the move as a routine rotation call driven by fit alongside Jimmy Butler.

Overview

  • Jonathan Kuminga recorded a DNP in Golden State’s 123-91 win at Chicago, with the Warriors using an 11-man rotation.
  • Steve Kerr said the decision was a standard rotation choice, citing Gui Santos and other bench pieces who better complemented Jimmy Butler.
  • Kuminga said he is healthy and staying ready, adding that he will be prepared whenever his number is called.
  • His role has tightened after bilateral knee tendinitis and a shooting slump, following a strong start that included early-season starts.
  • Kuminga signed a two-year deal with a team option and becomes trade-eligible on Jan. 15, and ESPN reports the Warriors are expected to explore the market.
