"MINNEAPOLIS The Warriors will begin their two-game series in Minneapolis critically undermanned on the wing. Jonathan Kuminga was ruled out of Saturday's game against the Wolves, diagnosed with left knee soreness on the team's official injury report. He tweaked both his knee and ankle on a drive with 4:28 left in Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Mavericks. Kuminga, 23, left the game a few moments later and did not return."
"With his departure, the Warriors were down both Kuminga and Jimmy Butler, who was recently lost for the season with an ACL tear. It is not yet known if the injury will keep Kuminga out for multiple games. After being a healthy scratch for over a month and requesting a trade after his Jan. 15 trade restriction passed, Butler's injury forced coach Steve Kerr's hand."
The Warriors will begin a two-game series in Minneapolis critically undermanned on the wing. Jonathan Kuminga was ruled out of Saturday's game with left knee soreness after tweaking both his knee and ankle on a drive with 4:28 left in Thursday's 123-115 loss to the Mavericks; he left the game and did not return. It is unclear if Kuminga will miss multiple games. Jimmy Butler was lost for the season with an ACL tear, which forced coach Steve Kerr to reinsert Kuminga into the rotation after a lengthy healthy scratch and a trade request. Kuminga scored 30 points in 30 minutes before exiting. The Warriors' wing depth now consists of Gui Santos, Buddy Hield, Will Richard and Gary Payton II; the team is 25-21 and has lost two straight.
