On March 12, Beijing time, according to Shams of the Register, sources revealed that Warriors player Kuminga plans to return for the Warriors' home game against the Kings this Friday.Kuminga will be a substitute when he returns, and there is a strict time limit.Kuminga has been sidelined with a sprained ankle since Jan. 4 and has missed 31 games in a row. So far this season, Kuminga has played in 32 games for the Warriors, averaging 16.8 points, 5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

For the Warriors, who have won five in a row, this is undoubtedly a big plus. After Butler joined the Warriors, the team's form improved significantly, and the Warriors had an excellent record of 12 wins and 1 loss in the 13 games Butler played. Currently, the Warriors are ranked 6th in the West, and Kuminga's return will undoubtedly increase the Warriors' hopes of making it straight to the playoffs.

Shams said Kuminga has averaged 20.5 points per game in his last 14 games and will now reintegrate into this team with strong momentum. Kuminga was active in the intra-team match, and the movement bounce has returned to normal.

A few days ago, Kerr said that Kuminga is in good form and should return soon. Team reporter Kawakami also touched on Kuminga's problem. Kerr said he hadn't specifically considered whether Kuminga would fit into the rotation when he returned, but he sat with Kuminga and watched some footage of the game — including Butler's performance and what Kuminga could learn.

In addition, Kerr also said that he wants to make sure Kuminga doesn't try to do everything in one go, especially if the team is in good form and his contract issues are still unresolved. He also hopes to use this to make Kuminga understand that what makes Butler special is that he doesn't force things to be done. ”

What kind of performance can Kuminga's return play? Let's wait and see.
