Steve Kerr did not hold back when discussing Jonathan Kuminga’s new role on the Golden State Warriors following the addition of Jimmy Butler III. Butler’s arrival has provided a spark for the team as they head into the season’s final stretch.

During Kuminga’s rehab process, the Warriors reinvented themselves. They stumbled into the trade deadline before acquiring Jimmy Butler, who has saved their season. They’re 12-1 with Butler in the lineup and have surged from 11th to sixth in the West.

Steve Kerr says Warriors youngster Jonathan Kuminga may have to take a back seat now that things are running through Jimmy Butler.
