Warriors vs. Timberwolves Game Delayed by Bizarre Net Malfunction
Last night’s NBA clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Minnesota Timberwolves took an unexpected turn before it even began. The game, scheduled for Saturday night, faced a delay of nearly 30 minutes due to an unusual issue—a net malfunction caused during the pregame warmups.
Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga unintentionally sparked the delay when he playfully hung on the rim, interacting with his teammates by deflecting their shots. Unfortunately, during one of these playful moments, his hand became tangled with the net, dislodging it. The malfunction went unnoticed at first but became evident just before the game’s tipoff. A video captured the moment and quickly made the rounds online, sparking reactions from fans and commentators alike.

Once the issue was identified, the operations crew rushed onto the court with ladders and tools, attempting to fix the damaged net. However, their efforts were far from straightforward. Fans inside the arena grew increasingly restless as multiple repair attempts failed. Even Warriors superstar Steph Curry expressed his frustration, joining the crowd’s boos and gesturing with double thumbs down when repairs hit another snag.
As the workers climbed up and down the ladder, players found creative ways to pass the time. Some, like Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, used the delay to reconnect with familiar faces, including Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Others, such as Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson, exchanged words, possibly about past on-court incidents. Meanwhile, players practiced on the unaffected end of the court to stay warm and prepared.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity to the restless crowd, the net was replaced, and referees gave the green light to resume play. However, to ensure both teams were ready, they were granted additional time to re-warm-up, further extending the delay.
Despite the disruption, the game eventually got underway, showcasing the unpredictable nature of live sports. This delay, while frustrating, reminded everyone of the human element behind the game and provided a moment of lighthearted chaos before the competition heated up on the court.
