For the second time in his career Jonathan Kuminga faced Kawhi Leonard, one of the best two-way players in the NBA.
The Warriors defeated the Clippers comfortably 115-91 as Kuminga scored 19 points and grabbed 7 rebounds.
After the game the Golden State forward was asked if he talked to Leonard and if he received any advice from him.
“He don’t really talk…,” Kuminga said about Leonard. “The first time I ever heard him talk was yesterday. I dabbed him and he was like, ‘keep working boy and stay healthy.’ That was my first time. And that was my second time playing against him.”
This season the 20-year-old player is averaging 9.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20.2 minutes per game.
