Kuminga Absent From Warriors Camp as Qualifying-Offer Clock Ticks

The restricted free agent faces a 9 p.m. PT Wednesday decision between a one-year qualifying offer and multi-year proposals, or he remains under Golden State’s control.

Overview

  • Jonathan Kuminga did not attend the Warriors’ first day of training camp as contract talks remained at a stalemate.
  • Draymond Green said Kuminga told him he wants to stay in Golden State, offering a rare on-record hint at the forward’s intentions.
  • Kuminga has until 9 p.m. PT on Wednesday to accept a $7.9 million qualifying offer that would position him for unrestricted free agency after the season.
  • Under NBA rules, if the qualifying-offer deadline passes without the offer being accepted or withdrawn, Kuminga continues as a restricted free agent with the Warriors retaining exclusive negotiating rights.
  • Reported offers on the table include two years for $45 million, three years for $75.2 million with a team option, and three years for $54 million without a team option, per ESPN.
