Jonathan Kuminga drops 18 points in 20 minutes off bench in return vs. Kings
While it was a historic night for Steph Curry against the Sacramento Kings, Thursday night also marked the long-awaited return of Jonathan Kunminga. After missing 31 consecutive games due to an ankle injury, Kuminga rejoined Steve Kerr's rotation on Thursday against the Kings for the first time since Jan. 4.
Kuminga came off the bench, playing 20 minutes against the Kings, showing no signs of rust. The fourth-year wing picked up right where he left off prior to his injury, scoring 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting from the field to go along with three rebounds, an assist and a steal.
Kuminga got going in the fourth quarter, slamming down three emphatic dunks, including a must-see rim-rocking dunk off a pass from Gui Santos.
