Steph Curry’s response to Jonathan Kuminga’s play goes viral

Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry missed both of his team’s games against the New Orleans Pelicans. Golden State played back-to-back games against New Orleans on Tuesday and Wednesday, both of which Curry was sidelined due to an ankle injury he suffered against the LA Clippers.

A reevaluation is scheduled for Friday. Curry’s earliest return is Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets, but it seems possible he could miss that game as well. Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has stepped up his game in Curry’s absence over the last two games, scoring 17 points against New Orleans on Tuesday and adding another 16 points on Wednesday.

Kuminga had one play in particular that drew strong reactions from both Curry and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. The NBA posted this clip on X and it received over 200,000 views in less than one day.

The highlight was also posted by the NBA on Instagram, where it was viewed more than 2.9 million times.

Kuminga has come off the bench in each of the past two games and has put in strong performances. This is what the Warriors need from the young forward as he takes on greater offensive responsibility.

After struggling in the first three games of the season, Kuminga has improved his season averages to 11.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists.
