Jonathan Kuminga remains an immensely talented 22-year old forward.
He also remains out of the Golden State Warriors' playoff rotation.
Kuminga hasn't played in Games 4, 5 and 6 of the series against the Rockets. If he doesn't play in Game 7 and the Warriors lose, it could be his last game with Golden State.
Head coach Steve Kerr was asked about Kuminga after the Warriors lost Game 6 to force the deciding game. The media wanted to know if Kuminga would play in Game 7.
"Everything is on the table," Kerr told reporters.

It escalated late in the regular season with a couple of DNP-Coach's Decisions.
Kuminga got back on the floor when Butler was hurt earlier this series, but then with Butler back, Kuminga has been back on the bench.
The Warriors' offense has been stifled in consecutive losses, and they could try something new to awaken it.
Or, Kerr may just feel that Kuminga's time in Golden State is over.
