Steve Kerr kept things real when discussing Jonathan Kuminga and his expected return to the court. Golden State Warriors fans will know that Kuminga is one of the young and upcoming stars in the NBA and has established himself on both ends of the court.

"Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, who suffered a sprained right ankle on January 4 vs. Memphis and has missed the last 21 games, returned to team practice this evening at Chase Center for the first time since sustaining the injury," the statement read. "His return to game action will be based on his continued progress and physical readiness."

TV, radio, odds, injury reports and more as the Sacramento Kings prepare to face the Golden State Warriors at Golden 1 Center.

Yet, Draymond Green has boldly declared that his team will upset the apple cart and hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June. Green believes the acquisition of Jimmy Butler has infused a new level of belief within the Warriors and that they have the requisite tools to win the title.

The Golden State Warriors are currently situated in an uncomfortable position as the Western Conference's No. 10 seed with a 28-27 record, though the team has been missing their former No. 7 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and budding star forward Jonathan Kuminga for several weeks.

It has been more than a month and a half since Jonathan Kuminga played in an NBA game. His ankle injury has lingered and sidelined him for 21 games. But there is light at the end of the tunnel.
