Jonathan Kuminga was ruled out of the Warriors’ game against the Mavericks Thursday with left knee soreness, the team announced.
He left for the locker room late in the first half after appearing to land awkwardly on his left foot on a drive to the hoop. The No. 7 pick in the 2021 NBA draft fell completely out of Golden State coach Steve Kerr’s rotation amid a trade demand and drawn out messy situation with the organization. That changed with the season-ending injury to Jimmy Butler on Monday, with Kuminga playing for the first time since Dec. 18 on Tuesday against the Raptors and again on Thursday, dropping 10 points in nine minutes before leaving the game.
