The Warriors went 7-5 in Inexperienced’s absence, however with rumors of Jonathan Kuminga (who changed Inexperienced within the beginning lineup) shedding religion in Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr’s capability to get Kuminga to his full potential, Inexperienced’s return can’t come quickly sufficient.
