In the middle of a tense schedule for the Golden State Warriors, the uncertainty about Jonathan Kuminga’s recovery and status has erupted into confusion. What was originally likely to be a short-term issue has now stretched to almost two weeks. Confusion and speculation have run rampant in the Warriors’ fanbase, and now, head coach Steve Kerr has commented on the situation amid a thinning rotation during a particularly volatile stretch of the season.

During an appearance on Willard and Dibs, Kerr was shown a clip of his response to a reporter asking about Kuminga’s status during a team practice on Sunday. Back then, Kerr had said, “He did a few things, yeah. I don’t know where he’s got to tell you where he is. I mean, he didn’t do anything. We didn’t do scrimmages, but we did live drill work, and he barely did any of that. So not moving well. So training staff is working with him. I have no idea when he’s going to play.”

He was asked about his frustrated disposition, with host Mark Willard questioning him about his feelings with how the situation had unfolded publicly. Kerr didn’t push back on his inquiry. “Well, it was frustrating to say day-to-day for two straight weeks,” he admitted. “And then kept getting asked about it because it’s day-to-day, but not really having a definitive answer… There’s frustration sometimes when there’s not clarity in terms of what’s happening with an injury.”

He continued with an encouraging update, saying, “That’s why it was great to see him out there today scrimmaging in the half court… I think he’s finally getting through there.” Hearing Kerr directly acknowledge his discomfort and the lack of clarity surrounding timeline has to feel slightly better, even if the uncertainty still remains.

This is a developing story…
