The Golden State Warriors are not letting trade rumors about Jonathan Kuminga affect their performance. After a recent win against the New York Knicks, star player Stephen Curry made it clear that Kuminga's situation is not a distraction. He believes it will sort itself out eventually. Draymond Green agreed, confidently stating that Kuminga is not a distraction.
Despite all the talk about Kuminga, the Warriors are doing well. They have won 10 of their last 14 games, putting them in eighth place in the Western Conference. This is a big deal because it shows the team is focused on their goals, not the drama off the court.
Before the game, reports said Kuminga asked to be traded. This happened right after he signed a new contract in September. It's not surprising, though. Kuminga has not played since December, and his relationship with coach Steve Kerr seems tense.
At the start of the season, Kuminga looked like he was going to have a great year. He averaged 17. 2 points and shot well. But since November, he has only played in nine games, scoring just 6. 3 points on average.
The Warriors are on a winning streak, thanks to playing at home. They have won four of their last five games at Chase Center and will play their next three games there. This home advantage seems to be helping them stay focused and win.
