After the Atlanta Hawks defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-110 on Saturday, Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga had a lengthy conversation with injured Warriors star Stephen Curry on the court. Kuminga said they were "just chopping it up" and that Curry is "my guy." Curry has missed 20 straight games due to injury and will be re-evaluated again before the Warriors' next game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Why it matters

The relationship between Kuminga and Curry has been a bit of a mystery, with some speculation that Curry may have wanted Kuminga to embrace more of a role-player mentality to help the Warriors. This conversation suggests the two remain on good terms despite Kuminga's limited playing time over the years.

The details

Kuminga had a tough game against the Hawks, scoring just 2 points on 1-of-9 shooting. But that didn't stop him from having a lengthy discussion with the injured Curry after the game. Kuminga said they were "just checking in, seeing how he's doing" as Curry continues to recover from his injury.
