Overview
- Kuminga registered a healthy DNP in Chicago as Steve Kerr said recent play had slipped and the team needed to “make a shift.”
- After a hot start and a November bout with knee tendinitis, Kuminga is down to roughly 12.4 points on about 44% shooting, with turnovers up and efficiency dipping in recent games.
- Kerr praised Kuminga’s response, noting a strong practice and emphasizing he wants the forward to reach his potential “here or elsewhere.”
- Reporting from multiple outlets says Golden State will explore trade options once Kuminga becomes eligible on Jan. 15 under his new short-term contract with a team option.
- A floated three-team concept would send Kuminga to the Bulls and deliver Daniel Gafford and Ayo Dosunmu to the Warriors, though it remains a media proposal rather than an active agreement.
