Steve Kerr explains why Kuminga didn’t play for Warriors vs. Clippers

SAN FRANCISCO – If the Warriors truly viewed Sunday’s regular-season finale against the Clippers as a playoff game, then the 124-119 overtime loss to the Clippers could have been a glimpse into forward Jonathan Kuminga’s playoff future. 

The fourth-year player was healthy but did not play a single second in a game that saw veteran forwards Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler log heavy minutes. 

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that he informed the 22-year-old of the plan before the game.
