The Golden State Warriors moved forward Jonathan Kuminga to the bench for Tuesday’s home game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The benching of Kuminga is an intriguing development in a fourth season when no contract extension was completed for both sides, and team officials have discussed setting him up to take the next step.
The Warriors started Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis. Golden State was without Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton for the game.
