Steve Kerr Reveals Major Jonathan Kuminga Decision During Warriors-Timberwolves Series

Game 2 was the complete opposite, though, as Golden State struggled without Curry in the lineup as they were blown out by Minnesota, who evened up the series.

Now the Warriors will return home for Game 3 as they look to take back control of the series in front of their home crowd.

Unfortunately for the Warriors, they will once again be without Curry, who is expected to be sidelined until at least Game 6 of the series after suffering a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.

With Curry sidelined, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr elected to use multiple different lineups in Game 2 as he tried to find one that would work the best.

Among those that had an increased role in Game 2 were Jonathan Kuminga and Trayce Jackson-Davis and Kerr revealed on Friday that they will be in the rotation moving forward.

“There's no Steph. It's a completely different team,” Kerr said. “Everything has to be about finding a new formula and JK is absolutely a part of that formula." "(TJD) showed he can be effective against this team.”

Of course, both Kuminga and Jackson-Davis had fallen out of the rotation for most of the postseason thus far but with Curry now sidelined, Kerr is bringing them back into it as he tries to find an answer.

Kuminga played extremely well in Game 2 as he scored 18 points in 26 minutes off the bench while Jackson-Davis dropped 15 points and six rebounds off the bench.

With both players now back in the rotation, the Warriors will need them and the rest of the team to step up again on Saturday with Curry continuing to be sidelined.
