Jonathan Kuminga, let’s talk about what just landed in your lap: a golden opportunity disguised as an unfortunate injury.
When Gary Payton II went down with that torn thumb ligament, Coach Kerr didn’t hesitate. He immediately pointed to you as the defensive heir apparent. That’s not just a vote of confidence—that’s Kerr handing you the keys to unlock your full defensive potential.
“It opens up an opportunity for JK to be that defensive stopper, the guy we’ve relied on Gary to be,” Kerr told reporters.
Translation: The Warriors believe in your defensive ceiling. All of Dub Nation does too.
