The Golden State Warriors are facing a serious internal storm — and this time, it’s not about injuries or a losing streak. According to multiple inside sources, Jonathan Kuminga — a young talent with clear All-Star potential — is furious after spending far too much time buried on the bench, to the point where he is reportedly threatening to leave if nothing changes.
Sources say the atmosphere in the Warriors’ locker room has become extremely tense. Several young players, including Kuminga and Moses Moody, believe Steve Kerr’s system has turned Golden State into a “graveyard” for young talent. They claim Kerr shows excessive loyalty to veterans, regardless of current performance or the potential of new faces.
Kuminga’s situation is mirrored by Moses Moody — another promising prospect who rarely gets the chance to shine. And who could forget James Wiseman, the highly touted No. 2 overall pick, now gone from Golden State after seasons of limited opportunity?
A former Warriors staffer revealed:
“If you’re a rookie in Golden State, get ready to wait. And maybe… wait forever.”
Still, Kerr’s defenders argue that he remains the architect of the Warriors dynasty — the man who maximized Stephen Curry’s talent, turned Draymond Green into one of the most versatile big men in history, and once helped Jordan Poole blossom into a young star before things unraveled.
The big question remains: Is Kerr really the problem? Or is this simply the price of sustaining a winning culture?
One thing is certain — if Kerr doesn’t change the way he uses Kuminga, the Warriors might soon face an explosive locker room bombshell — and this one won’t be happening on the court.
