Why the Warriors removed Jonathan Kuminga from the starting lineup

Kuminga scored 17 points in a season-high 28 minutes against New Orleans on Tuesday.

Golden State Warriors’ Jonathan Kuminga goes up for a dunk against the New Orleans Pelicans as Golden State Warriors’ Buddy Hield looks on in the fourth quarter of an NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, Oct. 29, 2024. SAN FRANCISCO — Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton being sidelined by injuries paved the way for more opportunities for Jonathan Kuminga. Just not in the Warriors’ starting lineup..

Curry makes it much more palatable to play two non-shooters with Kuminga — who’s still growing as a 3-point threat. Kuminga went 1-for-3 from behind the arc on Tuesday and is 2-for-12 on the year. Against the Pelicans, Kuminga played his best all-around game so far. On one play, he swatted a shot and tossed a lob to Jackson-Davis for an alley-oop on the other end. He later added a gliding, two-handed reverse dunk on a fast break.

“Still attacking the rim, putting pressure ,” Kuminga said. “Today, things went in, it looks good. The days it doesn’t go in, it looks like I’m doing something else. My gift and my nature is to attack the rim as much as I can.”
