Overview
- Jonathan Kuminga was a healthy scratch in Golden State’s 120-107 win over the Nets and has not played since December 18 as the Warriors moved to 17-16.
- Steve Kerr said Kuminga is "not really a short-minute player" and noted the current rotation favors energy, defense and quick bursts.
- Kuminga’s two-year deal prevents any trade before January 15, and league reporting indicates discussions are expected to pick up ahead of the February 5 deadline.
- The Athletic’s Sam Amick says the Sacramento Kings still have interest after pursuing him last summer, when the Suns and Bulls also explored options.
- Amick also reports rival teams believe Kuminga’s price has dropped, raising questions about the return Golden State could secure.
