Steve Kerr addresses Jonathan Kuminga’s unexpected absence from Warriors

The Golden State Warriors suffered a very unexpected loss against 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 tipoff, it was revealed that Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga would miss Saturday night’s game against the San Antonio Spurs due to an illness. There wasn’t much talk about what exactly happened, but after the game, Warriors head coach Steve eKerr addressed the situation.

“I think he’s fine,” Kerr said of Kuminga. “He just felt sick right before the game.”

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

Through 15 games this season, Kuminga is averaging 13.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 45/31/61 shooting from the field. His minutes have also taken a reduction, going 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 put up anything close to the 20 point-a-game All-Star jump that was expected of him. With the way the season is looking, it doesn’t necessarily look like Kuminga will get the max contract he was hoping for at the start of the season.
