The Golden State Warriors have surged with a 10-2 record since acquiring Jimmy Butler, impacting the performances of players like Moses Moody and Brandin Podziemski. However, Jonathan Kuminga's absence due to a serious injury has raised concerns, especially as he enters a pivotal contract year. Warriors coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the unexpected severity of Kuminga's injury, noting that his recent workout showed promise but emphasized caution in his return. As the Warriors prepare for a homestand, the hope is that Kuminga can rejoin the rotation, potentially elevating the team's dynamic.
