Overview
- Kuminga was a healthy DNP in the win at Chicago, and Steve Kerr said the benching followed a dip in the forward’s recent play.
- Reporting from ESPN and others indicates Golden State plans to explore trade discussions once Kuminga becomes eligible on Jan. 15.
- Kerr noted long-running fit and lineup issues, said he feels for Kuminga, and described a productive practice and continued dialogue.
- Kuminga is averaging about 12.4 points on roughly 44% shooting with recent stretches markedly worse, including poor plus/minus and turnovers.
- Coverage identifies the Kings and Suns as interested teams, and analysts say his two-year deal with a 2026 team option enhances his trade value and dictates the timing.
