There’s no doubt that the Golden State Warriors mishandled the Jonathan Kuminga situation in the Bay.

Before the franchise shipped the NBA champion forward to the Atlanta Hawks on Feb. 4, it was clear that something was off with the relationship between the two parties.
According to a bombshell Warriors report, Golden State accused someone close to Kuminga of taking too much food from the family room at Chase Center.
“He (Kuminga) knew management wanted to ding him for missing a team-requested event and alert him that someone around him was taking too much food from the family room,” ESPN’s Anthony Slater reported Wednesday.

“The gripes between player and organization, as multiple sources said, had become ‘petty’ in the fifth year of a relationship many believed should’ve ended years before.”
Shortly after Slater’s article was published, Stephen Curry issued a nine-word apology to Kuminga for the ‘ridiculous’ report.
“I’m sorry, bro,” Curry wrote on Instagram. ”This is ridiculous Go be Great.”
Although Curry isn’t to blame for the Kuminga-Warriors debacle, his powerful social statement directed at the former lottery pick speaks volumes about his character. Curry will always have Kuminga’s back, no matter what, and isn’t going to remain silent as the Warriors attempt to drag his name through the mud.

From Kuminga’s perspective, it must be nice to know that there’s at least one member of the Warriors’ organization that’s looking out for him.
