Stephen Curry will make his preseason return for the Golden State Warriors in their fourth matchup at the Moda Center on Tuesday night. However, Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler won’t be in action after sustaining an ankle sprain during Friday’s practice session.
With Draymond Green also sitting out to rest, the spotlight shifts to Jonathan Kuminga, who now has a prime chance to prove himself.
Kuminga has often been criticized for struggling to fit into the Warriors’ system when sharing the court with Curry. This game offers him a perfect platform to challenge that perception.
The young forward has shown flashes of brilliance in previous outings, but questions about his chemistry with the team’s leader have lingered.
Now, in Curry’s return and with key veterans absent, Kuminga has the stage to silence the doubters and demonstrate that he can thrive as a key piece of Golden State’s future.
