Warriors forward star: I have no worries about the future, I just want to make myself a better player

Jonathan Kuminga, the rising star of the Golden State Warriors, recently accepted an interview with American media Andscape reporter Marc J. Spears. In the interview, he also talked about the situation related to the new contract he previously signed with the Warriors and his uncertainty in the future.

Regarding his uncertain future, Kuminga said in an interview: I hope that I can try not to think about those strange things. I just want the day in the future to tell us what will happen. But when it comes to things related to the future, I actually don't worry at all. I just try my best to make myself better and become a better player so that I can play my own level in this league. To me, that's what you have to deal with in the NBA because you never understand this weird lifestyle where one day you might be here and the next day you're playing for another team.

Kuminga continued: Regarding the future, the most important thing is to work hard, strive to get better every day, and strive to become a winner. No matter where I am, whether I stay with the Warriors in the future or they may send me to play somewhere else, I just hope that I can be a part of it and be able to help the team win immediately and make a positive impact on the court. This is what I care about most at this stage. I have been here for several years and I am very familiar with everything here, so I know what is right and what is wrong. I will also use these experiences as my own guidance and provide more support to the team.

In the NBA regular season last season, Kuminga was affected by injuries in 82 games and only played 47 times in total, averaging 24.3 minutes per game. 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.4 blocks, 1.5 turnovers and 1.9 fouls, shooting 45.4% from the field, 30.5% from the three-point range, and 66.8% from the free throw line. In the playoffs, affected by the team's coaching staff's tactical arrangements, Kuminga only got 8 playing opportunities in 12 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game. He averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks per game. He also had 1.6 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. He shot 48.4% from the field, 40% from the three-point range, and 71% from the free throw line. This summer, after a long period of separation, Kuminga finally renewed a two-year contract with the Warriors with a total amount of $46.8 million, of which the second year of the contract is a team option. After completing the contract extension, what role Kuminga can play in the team, and even how long he can stay with the Warriors, may be a huge question mark.
