Overview

• Jonathan Kuminga did not travel to San Francisco and will not appear at Monday’s media day, with no momentum toward a deal before Tuesday’s first practice, per ESPN.
• The $8 million qualifying offer expires Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. ET and would give Kuminga an inherent no-trade clause this season and unrestricted free agency in 2026.
• Golden State has kept three offers on the table: two years, $45 million and three years, $75.2 million with final-year team options, plus a three-year, $54 million deal without a team option; Kuminga has pushed for a player option.
• Sign-and-trade talks with the Kings and Suns are dormant, with insiders noting Sacramento discussions stalled in part over Malik Monk’s 2027–28 player option and the Warriors’ desire to protect 2027 flexibility.
• The Warriors secured a multiyear commitment from Al Horford and agreed to terms with Gary Payton II and De’Anthony Melton, but Horford cannot sign or practice until the Kuminga situation is resolved; with rookie Will Richard signed, the team counts 13 committed players and plans for Kuminga to be the 14th.
