We knew the Warriors were worried about Jonathan Kumingaleft with an injury against the Grizzlies on Saturday evening, and the verdict fell after MRI: at least three weeks of absence, due to a severe sprain of the right ankle.
As imagined by Steve Kerr: “ This will not be something that can be managed day by day, it is a significant breach » said the Golden State coach afterwards. “ JK was playing the best basketball of his career, we will miss him, but Kyle (Anderson) will take over. »
It was on an attempted counterattack on Jake LaRavia that Jonathan Kuminga was injured before the break, his ankle landing poorly in a forest of feet. He even left the room on crutches.
At the heart of his best career season (16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists), and increasingly comfortable coming off the bench, the young winger is inevitably the first to be disappointed by this situation.
“ I don't want to be on the sidelines » warned the one whose name comes up quite a bit in transfer rumors, particularly those around Jimmy Butler. “ I want to be on the field playing and I feel like our team is going in the right direction and I would love to play. »
Unfortunately, without him and his impact in the paint, the Warriors took 30 at home against the Kings!
