The Golden State Warriors moved forward Jonathan Kuminga to the bench for Tuesday’s home game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Kuminga entered the contest with 7:10 left in the first quarter.
The benching of Kuminga is an intriguing development in his fourth season. No contract extension has been 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 against the Pelicans. Golden State was without Stephen Curry, Andrew Wiggins and De’Anthony Melton for the game.
