Steph Curry is making sure to stand up for his former teammate.<\/p>\n
New Atlanta Hawks big man Jonathan Kuminga was the subject of an unflattering report this week by The Athletic. The report claimed that Kuminga, who had spent the last four-and-a-half-seasons in Golden State, had seemingly engaged in unprofessional behavior amid his unhappiness with the Warriors.<\/p>\n
Kuminga is alleged to have at one point skipped a team-requested meeting with Golden State head coach Steve Kerr. Additionally, the Warriors were reportedly unhappy about a member of Kuminga\u2019s inner circle taking too much food from the team\u2019s family room (read the full details here<\/a>).<\/p>\n In an Instagram comment, Kuminga reacted to the report. He posted several laughing-face emojis along with the message \u201cWhat else.\u201d<\/p>\n Kuminga\u2019s longtime teammate Curry also seemed to reject the claims laid forth in the report. \u201cI\u2019m sorry bro. This is ridiculous Go be Great!\u201d Curry wrote in a subsequent Instagram comment tagging Kuminga.<\/p>\n Steph Curry showing support to Jonathan Kuminga on IG <\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m sorry bro.

Frustrations over his playing time as well as with his ugly contract saga over the summer<\/a> led to the inevitable divorce between the two sides.<\/p>\n But through it all, Kuminga won a championship with Curry and the Warriors in 2022 and still has a lot more room to grow at just 23 years old. Now the former NBA MVP Curry is making a point of defending his ex-teammate Kuminga as Kuminga embarks on a fresh start in Atlanta.<\/p>\n
