"Jayson Tatum, appreciate that man!": Warriors' rookie Jonathan Kuminga thanks the Celtics' star for his tweet, would look to impress him in person on Wednesday

Warriors’ rookie Jonathan Kuminga appreciates the tweet from Jayson Tatum, is surprised Tatum knows of him 

The Golden State Warriors went on to beat the Milwaukee Bucks at home last night. Coming in with a 6-game winning streak, the defending champions thought they could take advantage of the Warriors’ struggles. They put the clamps on Stephen Curry, thinking that stopping him on just 8 points would win them the game. However, they’d forgotten about the rest of the team.

Klay Thompson went off for a season-high 38 points, Jordan Poole scored 30, and Andrew Wiggins added 21 points. Jonathan Kuminga came up with a double-double, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.

Just like every game, Kuminga did not disappoint last night as well. He showed up and put Grayson Allen on a poster.

The Boston Celtics make their way to the Bay on Wednesday. Before they faced the Warriors, Jayson Tatum was watching the Bucks-Warriors game tonight. He put out a tweet about Jonathan Kuminga and how well he’s playing.

The Warriors played the Celtics once this year, edging a 111-107 win back then. Kuminga just got 4 minutes in the game, where he scored 2 points. Since then, Kuminga has been showing us what he can do and has become a regular in the Dubs’ rotation. He’s been 17.4 points and 5.8 rebounds in the Warriors’ last 5 games.

Last night, he recorded his second career double-double.

After the game, Kuminga was told about Tatum’s tweet, and he had a very grateful response to the same.

“I really appreciate this tweet. It means a lot… I didn’t expect him to know what I’m doing”
