Kuminga left with over four minutes left in the second quarter. He twisted his left foot after driving to the rim and went hobbling.
The Warriors forward briefly took a seat and was in pain of the injury. He was assisted to the locker room, in which the Warriors announced that he won't return due to left knee soreness.
In his postgame presser, Steve Kerr announced that Kuminga will undergo an MRI on Friday and admitted that the injury involved the forward's ankle and knee.
Kuminga's untimely departure was indeed a brutal blow for the Warriors. The 23-year-old dropped 10 points in 3-of-3 shooting, along with two assists and two steals in nine minutes before leaving, and his absence undoubtedly impacted Golden State's composure down the stretch.
Following the season-ending torn ACL of Jimmy Butler, the Warriors have endured another injury blow from Kuminga. The Congolese sensation was reinserted into the team's rotation after 16 straight DNPs and previously dropped 20 points, five rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes in the Warriors' 145-127 Tuesday loss against the Toronto Raptors
As Kuminga stands convinced to leave the Bay Area, his potential inactivity will definitely be monitored and how it can affect his trade value before the Feb. 5 deadline.
