The Golden State Warriors lost another game as Stephen Curry explained what this team needs to evolve.<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Golden State Warriors\u00a0shook things up on Friday night. They brought\u00a0Draymond Green\u00a0off the bench, in favor of starting\u00a0Jonathan Kuminga. The change ultimately resulted in a familiar result, losing a disappointing 107-90 ball game to the\u00a0Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

Kuminga had a somewhat disappointing performance amongst the starters. He finished the game with 13 points, shooting only 6-15 from the field in the process.<\/p>\n

Kuminga was coming off a career-high 33 points against the\u00a0Houston Rockets\u00a0in the Warriors’ previous contest. That momentum did not carry over into this one.<\/p>\n

However, at the post-game press conference, Warriors superstar\u00a0Stephen Curry expressed his feelings on needing to put Kuminga in a position to succeed. It was clear that he believes him to be a big part of the equation moving forward.<\/p>\n

“We need him to be\u00a0the best version of himself,” Curry told reporters. “He’s a big weapon for us.\u00a0…Tough scoring nights like tonight you’ve got\u00a0the challenge of this team. We’re a different team than we’ve been the last three years.”<\/p>\n

Curry continued to discuss the Warriors’ evolution: “The experimental phase of trying to unlock new looks new go-to sets, put the ball in his hands, it’s time for that for sure, because we haven’t had results otherwise. We got to lean into that and\u00a0[it] might not go well every night, but that’s what we’re trying to build.”<\/p>\n

The Warriors have now lost six of the last seven games that the team has played. Kuminga has had a disappointing statistical season to this point. The fourth-year pro’s continued development would serve to answer a lot of problems for a slumping Warriors team.<\/p>\n
