Overview

  • Jonathan Kuminga left the game against the San Antonio Spurs with 6:59 remaining in the second quarter due to right ankle soreness after an awkward fall during a drive to the basket.
  • The injury affects the same right ankle that sidelined Kuminga for 31 games earlier this season, casting uncertainty on his availability moving forward.
  • Kuminga had played in only eight games since returning on March 13, averaging 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 2.8 assists during that stretch.
  • He walked off the court gingerly with the assistance of Warriors medical director Drew Yoder, but the severity of the injury remains unclear as of now.
  • This setback comes at a critical time for the Warriors, who are navigating a tight Western Conference playoff race with an already injury-impacted roster.
