Dub Hub: Draymond Green says Jonathan Kuminga’s benching was ‘blown out of proportion’

Before Tuesday’s game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr announced the surprising move to bench Jonathan Kuminga in favor of a revised starting lineup featuring Brandin Podziemski, Buddy Hield, Moses Moody, Draymond Green, and Trayce Jackson-Davis. While some fans and media outlets reacted strongly to the change, Draymond Green offered a reasoned perspective, explaining that the decision was a response to the Warriors’ injury situation and not a statement on Kuminga’s performance.
