After the Golden State Warriors traded Jonathan Kuminga<\/a> away to the Atlanta Hawks<\/a> in a package for Kristaps Porzingis, some reports revealed just how petty the relationship may have become<\/a> between Kuminga and Golden State. On Friday night, Lou Williams<\/a> welcomed Kuminga to his new team with a hilarious take.<\/p>\n

There was one report claiming that the Warriors informed Jonathan Kuminga that someone in his family or group was taking too much food from the family room. Williams used that report as a way to give the 23-year-old forward a warm welcome<\/a> during Friday’s episode of \u201cRun it Back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cChandler and I have both played for the Atlanta Hawks,\u201d said Williams. \u201cThe food is amazing in the back\u2026and if you can’t get your food in the back, I know a place.\u201d<\/p>\n

The place Williams knows is likely the Magic City strip club in Atlanta, as the 39-year-old former guard was famously caught visiting the establishment in 2020 to get a plate of lemon pepper wings during the COVID-19 lockdowns. That incident led to a 10-day quarantine, which also gave him the \u201cLemon Pepper Lou\u201d nickname. Additionally, the club created a menu item called the \u201cLouwill Lemon Pepper BBQ\u201d wings.<\/p>\n

So, at the very least, it doesn’t appear food will be an issue for Jonathan Kuminga in Atlanta. A fresh new start with the Hawks seems to be an ideal situation for the five-year veteran. His time in Golden State seemingly ran its course, and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr even admitted<\/a> that it was difficult finding playing time for Kuminga while the team was competing for championships.<\/p>\n

Kuminga has yet to make his debut with the Hawks, as he is currently dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee. In the 20 games he has played this season with the Warriors, Jonathan Kuminga is averaging 12.1 points, 5.9 rebounds (career-high), and 2.5 assists (career-high) per game while shooting 45.4% from the floor and 32.1% from beyond the three-point line.<\/p>\n
