Kuminga is missing his second straight game with knee soreness. Steve Kerr says he has “tendinitis,” which is a Latin term that loosely translates to “We don’t know what’s wrong.” GSOM favorite Dario Saric is also still hurt.

That means the Warriors are facing a short rotation at the forward spots. That rotation got especially short in Wednesday’s game against the Orlando Magic, when Draymond Green got ejected in the first four minutes. Missing usual starters Green and Kuminga for most of the game, the team got strong performances from Trayce Jackson-Davis (8 points, 14 rebounds) and the oft-forgotten Moses Moody (12 points, five rebounds).

They got the opposite of a strong performance from rookie Gui Santos, who did make a three-pointer, but otherwise logged a near-impossible plus/minus of -16 in his six minutes of play. You should not be surprised to learn that the team’s young Brazilian was optioned to Santa Cruz.

Santos got torched a few times on defense against Orlando, especially when helping off shooters, leaving them wide open behind the three-point line. But in fairness to Santos, that’s kind of the Warriors’ signature move on defense. To paraphrase the old anti-drug commercial, he learned it by watching you!
