It also had emojis of a hamburger and a hot dog.
Kuminga made it known he wasn't a fan of the report with his own line in the comment section, where he dropped multiple crying emojis and the words, "What else?"

Kuminga joined the Warriors at 19 years old after he was picked in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft.
He had his breakout season for the team in 2023-24, but the past two years didn't go as expected for the forward.

It all eventually erupted into a schism between Kuminga and head coach Steve Kerr, with ESPN describing the duo's recent relationship as "a relatively cordial cold war."
Kuminga was ultimately sent packing last week in a trade that jettisoned him to theHawksforKristaps Porzingis. He's yet to play a game forAtlantawhile he recovers from a knee injury.
