Warriors dealt major injury blow well before All-Star break
The Golden State Warriors received bad news regarding one of their most important players. The Athletic's Anthony Slater reported that Warriors star forward Jonathan Kuminga's timetable to return from his ankle injury has been elongated to potentially after the All-Star break (h/t Bleacher Report's Zach Bachar):
'According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, the Golden State Warriors forward 'remains weeks away' from a return as his ankle is still wrapped and he hasn't advanced to any 'real court work.' Slater noted that Kuminga 'could' come back after the All-Star break,' Bachar wrote.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo native went down with a sprained ankle in pregame warmups before the Warriors' matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies on Jan. 4. He played in that game, but has been out since their following contest on Jan. 5 against the Sacramento Kings.
Kuminga was initially expected to return three weeks after he first was sidelined. That time frame has already elapsed, and another three-plus weeks have now been added to that.

This is about as inopportune a time for the Warriors to be without their third-leading scorer. The 22-year-old has put up career-highs of 16.8 points and five rebounds per game for Golden State this season. His aggression in driving to the rack and actively looking for his own shot will be missed on a Warriors team that is trying to overcome a tremendous midseason slump. In his stead, Gui Santos, Moses Moody, and Kyle Anderson figure to absorb much of his time.

Steph Curry Announces Exciting News on Friday
Steph Curry Announces Exciting News on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Stephen Curry has become one of the greatest players in NBA history over the last several seasons. Off the hardwood, he has been developing what could turn into a decent second career. Advertisement He is a budding golf aficionado who has taken part in the American Century Championship, which is an annual celebrity golf tournament. He won the competition in 2023, and he's about to hit the links for another golf event. Curry revealed on his Instagram account that he will be taking part in the fourth season of the Underrated Golf Tour, which will begin just days from now in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Underrated is a golf competition for boys and girls under the age of 18. It was founded by Curry with the aim of giving juniors access to golf courses and the ability to play the game, regardless of their race or socioeconomic background. Advertisement This year, the top male and female players in the competition will head to New Jersey late in the summer for this year's edition of the Curry Cup Championship. Underrated consists of four rounds.

After it looked like perhaps wear and tear was catching up with him during the first half of this season, his Golden State Warriors traded for six-time All-Star forward Jimmy Butler, and their championship window appeared to reopen. Although they were knocked out of the second round of the playoffs after Curry suffered a hamstring injury, they will likely be considered serious title contenders once next season starts. The Davidson product has already won four NBA championships.
