It was a disappointing end to a long and strenuous season for the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors fought hard in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, only to be knocked out of championship contention in the Semifinals. With Golden State eliminated, the atmosphere apparently became hostile as people started pointing fingers. With the future of most of the young core of the team in doubt, a 20-year-old star shared a cryptic post on Instagram.

Recently, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr joined Draymond Green on his podcast where he seemed to pin the blame on Golden State?s young core. This led Stephen Curry?s teammate to send out a cryptic message, which has now been followed by another one.

This led the 6?6 forward Jonathan Kuminga to react on Instagram via a cryptic message. It has been days since this went down. However, it seems like those jabs taken by the nine-time NBA champion are still echoing in Kuminga?s ears. The native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo went to his Instagram stories to share another long message, talking about vulnerability.

Kuminga?s post read, “Vulnerability is the only authentic state. Being vulnerable means being open, to allow yourself to not let your past, other people or even your journey make you feel less than what & who God have created you to be…Being open to the wounds of your life means also being open to the beginning of the healing process that would allow you the beauty of it all.”
