Steve Kerr addresses Jonathan Kuminga’s unexpected absence from the Warriors

The Golden State Warriors suffered a completely unexpected loss to the San Antonio Spurs last night. Although the Warriors were the favored team, they were missing one of their most reliable players, Jonathan Kuminga.

Shortly before publication, it was announced that Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga would miss Saturday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs due to an illness. There hasn’t been much talk about what exactly happened, but after the game, Warriors head coach Stev eKerr addressed the situation.

“I think he’s doing well,” Kerr said of Kuminga. “Shortly before the game he just felt sick.”

Last night against Spurs was the first game Kuminga missed for the Warriors this season. He has done everything the team has asked of him this season, including moving to the bench.

In 15 games this season, Kuminga averaged 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 45/31/61 shooting from the field. His minutes of action have also decreased, increasing from 26.4 minutes last season to 22.7 minutes this season.

While Kuminga has been a very solid player for the Warriors this season, he hasn’t come close to making the All-Star jump of 20 points per game that was expected of him. From the looks of the season, it doesn’t necessarily look like Kuminga will get the maximum contract he was hoping for at the start of the season.
