The Golden State Warriors had the chance to lean on Jonathan Kuminga for only one complete game in 2026. His second game after a month of DNPs went awry. The forward left the game against the Mavericks late in the first half. The Warriors later announced he was not returning from the game. Following the Golden State Warriors’ 123-115 loss, the second consecutive one since losing Jimmy Butler, Jonathan Kuminga and Steve Kerr present a bleak outlook on the player.
Kuminga landed awkwardly on a fast break, limping first to steal a little girl’s seat for some rest, then staggering heavily before eventually heading to the locker room. As per Anthony Slater, Kuminga told the staff that he’s in pain and wanted out of the game. He was eventually ruled out at halftime with unspecified ankle and knee injuries on his left leg.
Reporters at Dallas’ American Airlines Center watched Jonathan Kuminga cautiously mind his leg as he walked out of the Warriors’ locker room. He politely declined to speak to reporters, saying, “I’m out. I’m hurting right now.”
“I’m hurting right now,” is the last thing Dub Nation wants to hear after watching the brutal way Jimmy Butler tore his ACL. That brought JK back in the fold when the Warriors’ options on size has been limited.
Steve Kerr didn’t have a promising update after the game either. When asked about Kuminga’s status, Kerr said, “I just talked to him. He said he’s going to get an MRI tomorrow. It was both the knee and the ankle. We’ll see how bad it is. It’s such a shame; he was playing great. That definitely hurt as well—you know, not having him available for the second half.”
This is a developing story.
