“Steph Curry’s reaction to Jonathan Kuminga piece 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 had Curry 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 in Curry's absence over the past two games, scoring 17 points against New Orleans on Tuesday and adding 16 more points on Wednesday.

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

The NBA also posted the highlight on Instagram, where it received over 2.9 million views.

Kuminga had to come on as a substitute in the last two games and showed strong performances. That's 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.
