Restricted free agent forward Jonathan Kuminga will not accept the Golden State Warriors’ current contract proposals, ESPN reported Thursday.
The report added that Kuminga is in no hurry to sign a deal with the Warriors as he explores outside options.
The Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings have reached out with sign-and-trade offers, per ESPN.
The Warriors are the only team in the NBA that has yet to sign or trade for a player this offseason, as their plans are tied to Kuminga’s future.
It took time for the seventh overall pick of the 2021 NBA Draft to work into the Warriors’ rotation, as he mostly came off the bench as a rookie on the last Golden State team to win a championship.
In 258 regular-season games (84 starts), Kuminga has averaged 12.5 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. That included 15.3 points and 4.6 rebounds over 47 games (10 starts) in 2024-25, when he missed two months with an ankle injury.
Kuminga hardly saw the court for the Warriors in their first-round series upset of the Houston Rockets, but he earned more minutes in the second round against the Minnesota Timberwolves and averaged 20.8 points over the five games.
