Steve Kerr Confirms What Jonathan Kuminga Has to Do vs Rockets as Emotional Threat Looms Over Warriors

As the Warriors prepare for a high-stakes Game 7 against the Houston Rockets, head coach Steve Kerr emphasized the importance of managing emotions and avoiding lapses—like the costly four-point play by Fred VanVleet in Game 6. One solution could be Jonathan Kuminga. Kerr confirmed Kuminga is “100% on the table,” praising his past defensive work on Jalen Green and hinting that Kuminga could help disrupt Houston’s zone if the right spacing and shooting combinations are found.

Kerr admitted Jimmy Butler’s arrival made it harder to find minutes for Kuminga, whose role has diminished in recent games. Yet with the season on the line, Kerr is considering lineup changes. Despite offensive struggles in recent outings, Kuminga’s defensive upside might earn him another shot. For the 22-year-old forward, Game 7 could be both a moment of redemption and a chance to prove his long-term value to the franchise.
