Kuminga played his first minutes alongside Jimmy Butler late in the first half, entering with the Warriors up 20. The group — perhaps the Warriors’ closing lineup — fizzled into halftime along with another combination that replaced it. The Warriors ceded a 17-4 run to end the second quarter.

Playing for the first time since suffering a serious ankle injury against the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 4, Kuminga had a solid enough game and a few times flashed some of the athleticism that has kept him a prized prospect in Golden State despite multiple attempts by opponents to trade for him.
