This former NBA player delivers a candid statement regarding Steve Kerr and Jonathan Kuminga after the Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the playoffs.
Steve Kerr had a specific issue with Warriors star Jonathan Kuminga's game. An NBA insider has explained what had the Golden State head coach 'incensed'.
Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for making an “inappropriate comment” to the officials during Game 3 of their second-round playoff series against Minnesota.
If that reality holds, the only team that could realistically sign Kuminga without a sign-and-trade is the Nets. No other NBA team has significant cap space, but if the Nets did focus on Kuminga, the Warriors could lose him for nothing in return.
Kuminga has lit up the Wolves the last two games, providing the Warriors with some much-needed offensive juice while Steph Curry sits out with a hamstring injury. The 22-year-old has been so explosive that Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch compared him to Anthony Edwards.
Despite the latest loss, the Golden State Warriors stayed competitive against a very physical Minnesota Timberwolves team. Meanwhile, Jimmy Butler had an impressive scoring night. Still, he took a moment to praise Jonathan Kuminga and even made a surprising confession about him.
Those who bet on the Timberwolves and Warriors spread saw Jonathan Kuminga ruin it all in Game 3 of the NBA playoffs.
