Overview
- ESPN’s Anthony Slater reports the Warriors have made no substantial progress toward a Jonathan Kuminga trade as of Jan. 8.
- Isiah Thomas said on FanDuel TV that Warriors players should publicly back Kuminga if they believe he can help, challenging the locker room’s quiet approach.
- Kuminga’s minutes have fluctuated under Steve Kerr, including recent DNPs, and he last played on Dec. 18.
- Steve Kerr said Kuminga was a last-minute scratch with lower back soreness and offered little clarity on whether the issue could linger.
- Rival executives told ESPN that Kuminga’s reduced role is lowering his market value ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline, and team sources indicated Golden State could keep him if no suitable offer emerges.
