Jonathan Kuminga Threatens Disrespectful Fan After 1-for-9 Night

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jonathan Kuminga threatened to slap a fan who used a derogatory nickname toward him in a video posted on social media. The incident occurred following Minnesota's 123-112 preseason loss to the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday at Hilton Coliseum, where Kuminga struggled offensively, shooting 1-for-9 from the field.

In the circulating video, the fan referred to the 24-year-old forward as "Kum Bucket," prompting Kuminga to respond that he would find and slap whoever said it. The fan later stated on X that he was joking and remains supportive, while the Timberwolves prepare for their next preseason matchup against the Miami Heat.
