The Golden State Warriors have released their injury report for Friday night's game against the Detroit Pistons, and Jonathan Kuminga is being listed as probable with left toe soreness. Kuminga's addition to the injury report comes after a report earlier Friday morning that young forward no longer trusts Steve Kerr to optimize his development.
In that report, Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic wrote, "After sitting for the final 18 minutes of Thursday night’s loss to the Denver Nuggets, Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has lost faith in coach Steve Kerr, and the 2021 lottery pick no longer believes Kerr will allow him to reach his full potential, sources close to Kuminga tell The Athletic, adding another layer of turbulence to an already complex Warriors season."
Now listed on the injury report for Golden State's game vs. Detroit, Kuminga is probable to play, but his status could change between now and game time. This is an updated status for Kuminga, who had not appeared on any recent injury reports leading up to this game.
The Kuminga situation will be one to monitor, as the Warriors will almost certainly have to make a decision on how they want to move forward with this dynamic between he and Kerr. Needing to do so while also climbing back into the playoff picture, the Warriors are in a tough spot.
