Warriors coach Steve Kerr, who drew the ire of Kuminga’s agent Aaron Turner during summertime contract negotiations that produced a two-year, $46 million deal, expected the 23-year-old to be a part of the rotation during Friday’s loss to Oklahoma City. Kuminga was instead a late scratch from the lineup with a back injury.

The Warriors face the Thunder without Jimmy Butler, Stephen Curry, and Draymond Green after a late injury update.
