Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga, who has long been the subject of trade rumors and speculation and has demanded a trade request himself as he remains outside of the rotation, could be making appearances for the Dubs soon after Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending torn right ACL.

De’Anthony Melton, minutes restriction be darned as he returns to 100% after ACL rehab, has quietly become the Warriors’ top scorer off the bench. He entered the night having scored in double figures in four consecutive games, including efforts of 22 and 23 points despite only playing around 25 minutes a night.

As the Miami Heat come off their best win of the season, Jimmy Butler and the Golden State Warriors are next up on the schedule tonight.
