The Golden State Warriors have had a very unfortunate season when it comes to injuries. The team entered tonight's game against the Memphis Grizzlies already without Steph Curry, but now they'll be missing another star player as well.

During Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies, star forward Jonathan Kuminga suffered an ankle injury.

Via Anthony Slater of The Athletic: "Awkward landing for Jonathan Kuminga on a block attempt and he's limping straight to the locker room. Rick Celebrini following behind him."

Kuminga has been one of the most reliable players for the Warriors this season, only missing two games so far. Through 31 games, Kuminga has averaged 16.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.2 assists on 46/33/64 shooting from the field.
