Warriors' Jonathan Kuminga Suffers Knee Injury, Warriors Confirm via MRI Results
Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga suffered a bone bruise in his left knee during the second quarter of their recent game against the Mavericks in Dallas. The injury occurred when he rolled his ankle and hyperextended his knee, prompting him to limp off the court before heading to the locker room.
The extent of Kuminga's knee injury was confirmed via MRI results announced by the Warriors on Sunday, ahead of their upcoming matchup against the Timberwolves. According to the team, the MRI revealed a bone bruise in the 23-year-old forward's left knee.
As a result, Kuminga has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, which was originally scheduled for Saturday afternoon but postponed due to federal agent involvement in protests over an immigration crackdown. The Warriors have also not released a return timeline for Kuminga, leaving his status uncertain ahead of Monday's rematch against the Wolves.
Kuminga had recently returned to action after being benched since December 18, and his injury marks a setback in what had been a promising stretch. During his two games back in the lineup, he scored 30 points over 30 minutes of play. The NBA trade deadline is approaching on February 5, which may lead to speculation about Kuminga's future with the Warriors.

what a bummer! so he got a bone bruise in his knee from rolling his ankle and stuff... sounds pretty bad 
did they say how long he'll be out? i was really looking forward to watching him play again 
and now i dont know if the warriors will make any moves at the trade deadline... maybe they'll try to get some more talent 
or maybe kuminga will just come back from it 
but idk what's gonna happen next 
. This is a big blow for the Warriors, especially with the trade deadline looming. They were counting on him to make an impact and now that's uncertain. Fingers crossed he'll be back on the court soon 
. Maybe they can use this as an opportunity to evaluate their depth and make some moves at the trade deadline? But, man, it's tough to see Kuminga out for an extended period 
.
. but we won't know that till the dust settles 
. anyways, wish kuminga a speedy recovery & all 
!
