Warriors Announce Roster Decision Amid Jonathan Kuminga Uncertainty

The 22‑year‑old wing and No. 7 overall pick in 2021 enters the 2025‑26 NBA season as a young core piece who has surged over the past couple of years.

In the 2024-25 playoffs, he averaged a career-high 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 23.4 minutes over eight playoff games, including a 30-point performance on May 10 against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Despite this, he remains unsigned and absent from team events as a $7.9 million qualifying offer ticks toward its deadline.

Golden State put multiple multi‑year proposals on the table this summer, including two reported packages of a two‑year, $45 million offer and a three‑year, $75.2 million proposal with team options.

However, Kuminga’s camp has pushed for a deal containing a player option to retain control of his future; that demand has largely stalled progress and fueled trade rumors.

The only offer from the Warriors side that didn't include a team option was for three years and valued at just $54 million ($18 million per year).

The sides have not found a middle ground yet, and Kuminga’s choice to skip mini‑camp and media day underscores the tension, especially with the deadline just days away.
