The Warriors will now have a major decision to make on Kuminga this offseson.
He will be a restricted free agent.
Via Jake Weinbach: "Jonathan Kuminga, a restricted free agent this summer, will most likely not return to the Warriors next season.
Golden State may not have enough faith to offer him a long-term deal, and there will be other suitors willing to invest in the untapped potential of the 22-year-old."
