“He had a great match. Normally, we restart it when there are 5 or 6 minutes left to play but Wiggs was on a good dynamic, we had the match in hand at +18 or +19 and we therefore decided to stay with the five who were on the field. Then, as he had been on the bench for a long time, it was difficult to restart him. »
Steve Kerr's explanations for the absence of Jonathan Kuminga (16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in 19 minutes) at the end of the match against the Nuggets, while Aaron Gordon took advantage of his physical advantage against the various defenders of the Bay, surprised more than one. And obviously also the Congolese…
According to The Athleticthe already complicated relationship between the player and his manager could have reached a point of no return, with Jonathan Kuminga believing that Steve Kerr will not allow him to reach his potential.
At 21 years old, the Congolese does not understand its use, nor its minutes. And he's obviously not the only one since Moses Moody would also be frustrated by his extremely fluctuating role within the Warriors.
Nothing surprising, in the end. The direct consequences of this double frustration remain to be seen. Transfer requests for the two young Warriors, still in their rookie contracts and over which the Bay club therefore keeps control… at least until the summer of 2025?
