It’s not exactly clear how Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga found out he’d be coming off the bench against the Pelicans on Tuesday, as his account differed depending on which outlet Warriors fans read.
The news first made its way to the general basketball-watching public through ESPN’s Shams Charania and Kendra Andrews a little over an hour before the game, but it also might be how Kuminga found out as well. San Francisco Chronicle reporter Ron Kroichick reported that the 22-year-old “learned of the decision, he said, from a reporter,” and that Kuminga went into the game thinking he’d be a starter.
