SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kumina will not play in Friday night\u2019s NBA Cup group stage game against the San Antonio Spurs because of bilateral knee tendonitis.<\/p>\n
Kuminga has been dealing with the injury the past few days and tried to play through it in Wednesday\u2019s game against the Spurs, but did not return for the second half of Golden State\u2019s 125-120 win. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he did not think Kuminga required an MRI.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust day to day,\u201d Kerr said before Friday\u2019s game against the Spurs. \u201cJust spoke with (Director of Sports Medicine and Performance) Rick (Celebrini) today, and because of the process the other day where he was kind of questionable, he decided to play. And then it got sore again, (so) it makes no sense to do that exact thing again. So we\u2019ll give him tonight off and hopefully over the next couple of days, as he visits with our training staff every day, they\u2019ll get him on track and he\u2019ll be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kuminga\u2019s absence could allow the 23-year-old to get back on track after a rough stretch.<\/p>\n
The fifth-year forward started the season with a bang, being named a starter by Kerr and playing well on both ends of the floor. Before Wednesday\u2019s game, Kerr pulled Kuminga from the starting lineup in favor of Moses Moody. Kuminga is shooting just 18-of-48 from the field over his last five games.<\/p>\n
