Jonathan Kuminga of the Golden State Warriors has sustained a significant right ankle sprain, raising concerns about his availability for upcoming games. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr confirmed that Kuminga will undergo an MRI after he left the game against the Memphis Grizzlies on crutches. The injury occurred late in the second quarter, and while the Warriors secured a 121-113 victory, Kuminga's absence is expected to be felt.

Kuminga, who had been enjoying a breakout season, scoring 20 or more points in three of his last four games, is likely to miss the next matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Kerr indicated that this will not be a day-to-day situation, emphasizing the severity of the sprain.

Draymond Green expressed frustration over the injury, noting the impact Kuminga has had on the team. The Warriors are already managing injuries to other players, including Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II, while Stephen Curry is anticipated to return for the game against Sacramento. Kerr is optimistic about the team's depth, highlighting the signings of Kyle Anderson and Buddy Hield as crucial for navigating through these injury challenges.
