With the Warriors fighting for survival in a brutal Game 7 against the Houston Rockets, Steve Kerr made a bold early call—throwing Jonathan Kuminga into the fire. But what was meant to be a redemption arc quickly turned into a frustration fest. Kuminga, who had been benched for two straight games, entered in the first quarter and immediately blew a golden opportunity—baiting Steven Adams with a fake, only to miss two wide-open layups.
Gary Payton II’s illness opened the door for Kuminga, but the Warriors community isn’t loving what’s behind it. Fans already frustrated with his reduced role saw firsthand why Kerr might’ve benched him in the first place.
With Golden State leading in the second quarter, all eyes are on whether Kuminga can recover—and if Kerr’s trust pays off or backfires in a must-win showdown. One thing’s clear: this performance isn’t easing the tension in Dub Nation.
