Kuminga appeared but scored zero points... injured? No, he was directly marked as DNP.

After the game, Warriors coach Kerr discussed the reason behind Kuminga’s DNP status, explaining that this is the nature of the NBA—someone is always striving to take your job.

Kuminga responded as follows:

Since returning from bilateral patellar tendonitis, this guy’s form has been very poor,shooting only 12 out of 40 attempts in the last four games combined, a shooting percentage of just 30%so it’s not Kerr holding him back; it’s purely a matter of ability.

However, when Kuminga performs poorly and can no longer get playing time with the Warriors, his trade value drops. Starting January 15 next year, Kuminga will be eligible for trade by the Warriors. According to ESPN reporters,the Warriors will explore the trade market for Kuminga in the coming weeks.

In fact, Kuminga has long been the subject of various trade rumors, including talks of swapping him for Brooklyn’s Porter or even Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In November, renowned reporter Stein stated that Kuminga is considered one of the most valuable trade assets in the league. At just 23 years old, a 2021 first-round seventh pick, and having signed a two-year $48.5 million extension with the Warriors this summer without a trade veto and with a team option in the second year, such a player is indeed quite desirable.

Back to the Warriors, their recent performance has been commendable, holding opponents under 100 points for three consecutive games. Currently, they stand 13-12, eighth in the Western Conference, but still three wins behind the sixth-place Timberwolves.

The biggest good news is that Curry is about to return from his left quadriceps contusion and muscle strain,expected to make his comeback on December 13 Beijing time, this Saturday, during the Warriors’ home game against the Timberwolves.

So far this season, 37-year-old Curry has played 16 games, averaging 31.1 minutes, contributing 27.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3.1 turnovers, and 1.3 steals per game, shooting 39.1% from the field with an NBA-leading 4.7 three-pointers made per game. His scoring average is the highest in nearly three seasons, maintaining an explosive competitive form.
