DALLAS — Jonathan Kuminga was benched three times in the first 10 games of the season, leaving the 20-year-old forward to wonder why.
But Kuminga, the No. 7 overall pick last summer, has proved over the last three games, including a stellar showing Tuesday night in the Warriors 116-113 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, that he’s here to stay in the rotation.
Kuminga played so well that coach Steve Kerr ran with him into the final minute of the close Western Conference finals rematch.
