Jonathan Kuminga Expected to Return for Warriors Against Kings

Golden State forward Jonathan Kuminga, sidelined since January with an ankle injury, is set to rejoin a surging Warriors team on Thursday.

Jonathan Kuminga has been sidelined for 31 games due to a sprained right ankle sustained in early January but is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings.
Head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Kuminga will come off the bench as the Warriors aim to gradually reintegrate him into a rotation that has thrived since acquiring Jimmy Butler.
The Warriors have won 12 of their last 14 games, including a five-game winning streak, and currently hold the sixth seed in the Western Conference standings.
Kuminga had been playing the best basketball of his career before his injury, averaging 20.5 points over his last 14 games, but will now need to adapt to a changed team dynamic.
The Warriors plan to limit Kuminga's minutes initially to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the chemistry of their successful lineup.
