Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga was a healthy scratch in Golden State’s 120-107 win over the Nets and has not played since Dec. 18.
- Steve Kerr said Kuminga is not a short-minute player and emphasized that the current rotation favors energy, defense and quick-burst contributors.
- The Athletic’s Sam Amick reports the Kings still have interest, and league chatter suggests Kuminga’s price has declined since the summer.
- Kuminga re-signed on a two-year deal in the offseason, making him trade-eligible on Jan. 15 ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
- Multiple media-proposed trades, including concepts for frontcourt help or veteran reunions, remain speculative with no confirmed negotiations.
