Kuminga Skips WarriorsSan Diego Minicamp as Contract Standoff Persists

His camp continues to prioritize a player option, leaving the qualifying-offer deadline as a key pivot point.

Overview

  • Shams Charania reported that Jonathan Kuminga was the lone Warriors holdover who did not attend a Jimmy Butler–organized workout in San Diego.
  • Kuminga and Golden State remain at an impasse, with his agent telling ESPN that a player option is still a critical requirement.
  • Recent reported offers rejected by Kuminga include three years at $75.2 million with a team option in year three, two years at $45 million with a team option in year two, and three years at $54 million without options.
  • Kuminga has until Oct. 1 to opt for the one-year qualifying offer, a date that can be mutually extended under league rules.
  • Signing the qualifying offer would forgo more than $40 million in near-term guarantees but would confer de facto no-trade protection this season and unrestricted free agency next summer.
