The Golden State Warriors have decided to move forward Jonathan Kuminga to the bench for tonight’s matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans.
This decision marks an interesting turn in Kuminga’s fourth NBA season, especially since both sides have yet to agree on a contract extension.
The organization has reportedly been focused on finding ways to maximize Kuminga’s development, potentially setting the stage for him to elevate his game to new heights.
The benching could be part of a strategic plan to refine his role and responsibilities, signaling their commitment to his long-term growth despite the pending contract situation.
