Why Jonas Jerebko is back with Warriors but not back in the rotation

OAKLAND -- Jonas Jerebko was back on the Warriors’ bench on Thursday, but you might not have noticed.

The forward missed the final three games of Golden State’s five-game road trip to be with his wife, Johanna, for the birth of their second child. He returned to the team in Thursday’s 113-104 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but did not see the court for one reason above all.

“With [center DeMarcus Cousins’] return, it affected Jonas the most out of anybody on the team,” coach Steve Kerr said at the Warriors’ practice facility on Friday.
