ABC7/KGO-TV reporter Mike Shumann is apparently in hot water with the Golden State Warriors, after being accused by the team of stealing a jacket from Ralph Walker, the director of team security, and Curry’s personal bodyguard, per a report from Steve Berman of The Athletic.
According to the report, Warriors assistant coach Jarron Collins took a video of Shumann taking the jacket as he left the AT&T Center in San Antonio following a Warriors practice last week. Shumann was sent home from San Antonio after the incident, with ABC7 telling The Athletic:
“We are taking these allegations very seriously and conducting a full investigation. As a matter of policy, we do not comment about personnel matters.”
Some members of the Warriors apparently feel there is a double-standard at play regarding the incident, and that if a media member of color had been involved, the situation would’ve been handled differently.
According to multiple sources who cover the team, several prominent players have voiced these concerns and are indicating that they will not brush this incident aside.
Shumann is a former 49ers wide receiver, and was a part of the 1981 Super Bowl winning team.
