At least one prominent media member was doubtful Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga would get many minutes, even with Andrew Wiggins “limited.”
defensive assignment will very likely be a shared one in Friday night’s pivotal Game 6 against the Lakers — who still lead the series 3-2.
“You can imagine, I mean, he’s guarding LeBron, and you’ve got a rib injury, you get bumped a few times, maybe 100 times, it’s not going to be pleasant,” Kawakami said. “But, you know, I think you can imagine that Wiggins will be out there, he’s not going to miss Game 6, but maybe he’s going to be a little bit limited. Maybe, you know, a little less minutes, maybe some other people are going to have to play some additional minutes and have to guard LeBron.
Host Allen Stiles, channeling the entirety of the internet, immediately brought up the Warriors’ great playoff enigma —— as a potential stopgap, which Kawakami basically shot down while offering up some pretty damning assessments of the second-year forward. “I think Kuminga could be part of it, and I don’t think he’ll have a huge role here. Kind of hard to just drop him in Game 6 after not playing much for quite a while here,” he said. “But he’s got the body to do it, maybe he can take four minutes? Just bail us out for a little bit, don’t shoot the ball. I think that could be part of it: Don’t shoot unless you’re standing right in front of the lane. … They get very scared with him turning the ball over.
