Jonathan Kuminga will miss the Golden State Warriors' regular-season matchup against their conference rivals Sacramento Kings on Sunday. He sustained a right ankle injury during the team's 121-113 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday.
The injury, described as "significant," has sidelined Kuminga for the Warriors' second game of a back-to-back, with the possibility of the young forward missing additional games.
Kuminga had an impressive start against the Grizzlies, delivering an instant scoring boost off the bench. However, his promising performance was cut short by the injury. The incident occurred with just over two minutes left in the first half when Kuminga attempted to block Jake LaRavia’s shot but landed awkwardly on LaRavia’s foot, twisting his right ankle in the process.
