We were rolling, Andrew Wiggins was playing fantastically, and we were up 18, 19, whatever it was. We just decided to stay with him. It didn’t feel like the right thing to do at that (later) point. He had been seated for some time. I therefore stayed with the group that was present, and it was evident that we were unable to contain it.”

Lately, there has been disagreements about his playing time and role, to the extent that Kuminga and head coach Steve Kerr met to sort things out.
Despite a 14-game starting streak, Kuminga was unfazed by Kerr’s decision to have him come off the bench this time.
Since I’ve been here, I’ve been coming off the bench, so that has no bearing on me. According to Jack Winter of Clutch Points, he stated, “I maintain my professionalism.”
“As long as I go out there—like I always say—go out there and help my team win, just enjoying being with this group of guys every day, it don’t matter if I play less minutes.”
On January 4, Kuminga only played 19 minutes against the Denver Nuggets. According to Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of The Athletic, Kuminga “lost faith” in Kerr’s ability to help him realize his full potential after that game.

On Sunday, Kuminga and the Warriors will play the Milwaukee Bucks in the second game of their four-game road trip.
