Warriors’ Kuminga returns to practice

On January 4, Jonathan Kuminga suffered severe sprain of the ankles in a game against the Memphis Grizzlies. 46 days later, the striker of Golden State Warriors finally practices with the team.

While Kuminga missed the last 21 games for the Warriors, he is still essentially on schedule for his return. The warriors called it an “significant” sprain of the right ankle, which probably means that Kuminga suffered a high sprain of ankles. The general expectation for this is a recovery time of 6 to 8 weeks, ie the area in which Kuminga is currently located.

He has to be clarified for five against five basketball and maybe bring his condition to the NBA level after spending time with crutches and in a hiking chair. The squad has changed significantly since he was traveling, with Jimmy Butler arriving and Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson and Lindy Waters III.

The Shorthanded Warriors have just signed the former lottery pick Kevin Knox to add a certain forward depth, but nothing helps the squad get back more than Kuminga. This season he achieved an average of 16.8 points and five rebounds. Kuminga’s ability to get into the basket is unique among Warriors storms that are not called Jimmy Butler. His return should help to start the offense, even if he probably returns to a bank role.

Kuminga’s return should go down in the minutes of Gary Payton II and Gui Santos, although the Moses Moody (finally) could have earned consistent minutes as part of a highly effective small starting line -up. It also means that Knox will have a limited window to prove itself, although his chances in a second 10-day contract remain excellent in view of the proximity of the Warriors.

Jonathan Kuminga practices. Jonathan Kuminga will soon play. If the thubs will win everything like Draymond Green is promised, they need Kuminga’s bucket.
