INJURY BLOW: Jonathan Kuminga’s Right Ankle Sprain to Keep Him Out of Action for Three Weeks

The Golden State Warriors split their weekend back-to-back, capping it off with a lopsided 129-99 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night. While the blowout snapped the Warriors’ two-game winning streak, the bigger setback this weekend was the injury to Jonathan Kuminga.

The fourth-year forward suffered a right ankle sprain during Saturday’s win over the Memphis Grizzlies and was seen on crutches after the game. He is expected to miss at least three weeks, according to The Athletic’s Anthony Slater.

Kuminga’s injury comes at a particularly unfortunate time. He was starting to find his stride off the bench, delivering consistent production over the past 10 games. During that stretch, he averaged 20.1 points per game, including consecutive outing where he scored and matched his career highs with 34 points.

The injury is projected to sideline Kuminga for at least 10 more games, but he emphasized the importance of taking it slow with a cautious recovery plan.

Jonathan Kuminga is on crutches today with his right ankle heavily wrapped. Can’t put weight on it.

“I just don’t want to be off. I want to be playing. I feel like our team had started taking off in the right direction.”
