SAN FRANCISCO -- Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga will be reevaluated in three weeks after an MRI confirmed he suffered a significant lateral right ankle sprain, the team said Sunday.

Kuminga sustained the injury late in the second quarter of Saturday's 121-113 win over the Memphis Grizzlies when he landed awkwardly in the paint and rolled his right ankle. He left the game immediately after and left Chase Center on crutches following the win. He underwent an MRI on Sunday.

Kuminga had been in the midst of the best stretch of his career, receiving more opportunity and being used as a primary scorer at times. He averaged 20.5 points over the past 14 games, including scoring 20 or more points in three of his previous four games and a career-high 34 points in consecutive games. But now the Warriors will be without their most explosive athlete for at least three weeks. He will miss at least 11 games.

"Brutal," Golden State coach Steve Kerr said before facing the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. "JK has been playing so well and obviously such a big part of what we are doing. He is our more athletic scorer and finisher and has been playing so well.

"We do feel good about our depth and ability to withstand his loss. Kyle [Anderson], Moses [Moody] will get more of an opportunity."

The 22-year-old Kuminga is averaging a career-high 16.8 points and 5 rebounds per game this season. Last month, he became the first Warriors player with 30 points or more in consecutive games off the bench since Cazzie Russell in 1974.

The Warriors are also without Brandin Podziemski (abdominal strain) and Gary Payton II (calf). Podziemski could be nearing a return, as Kerr said the team was initially hopeful the guard could have returned Sunday before needing a little more time to recover.
