Jonathan Kuminga Clashes With Warriors Bench and Rudy Gobert in Wolves Loss
The Minnesota forward delivered a season-high 20 points against his former team while trading barbs with Golden State and his own teammate.
Jonathan Kuminga's second encounter with the Golden State Warriors since leaving the organization was marked by raw emotion against both his former team and his own locker room.
During Minnesota's 119-114 defeat on Wednesday, the 24-year-old forward repeatedly engaged with the Warriors' bench. At one point, Kuminga gestured directly toward the Golden State sideline, waving his hands to tell the opposing players and staff to take their seats. As reported by BasketNews, the tension also boiled over within the Timberwolves' ranks, with Kuminga getting into a heated exchange with center Rudy Gobert.
Despite the friction and the final outcome, Kuminga turned in his most productive outing of the early season. He spent 32 minutes on the floor, finishing with a season-best 20 points, five assists, and three rebounds.
