Overview

  • Jonathan Kuminga left the March 30 game against the Spurs with right ankle soreness, the same injury that sidelined him for 31 games earlier this season.
  • The injury occurred during the second quarter when Kuminga fell awkwardly after a contested drive to the basket.
  • Warriors head coach Steve Kerr expressed hope that the injury is not serious but acknowledged the setback as unfortunate given Kuminga's recent return to form.
  • Kuminga had been averaging 14.3 points per game in the nine games since his return and 16.3 points per game overall this season.
  • The Warriors, currently holding the sixth seed in the Western Conference, are preparing for their next game against the Grizzlies while relying on roster depth to manage Kuminga's absence.
