Overview

• Kuminga remains unsigned ahead of Wednesday’s 11:59 p.m. ET deadline to accept a one‑year qualifying offer worth about $7.9–8 million, a path that would confer an inherent no‑trade clause and 2026 unrestricted free agency.
• Golden State’s recent offers include two years at $45 million and three years at $75.2 million with team options in the final season, which Kuminga’s camp is resisting in favor of player options, and there have been no talks to push back the deadline, per multiple reports.
• Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton have verbally committed but cannot finalize deals until Kuminga’s situation is resolved, while Gary Payton II signed a one‑year contract and second‑rounder Will Richard agreed to a four‑year deal with two years guaranteed.
• Team leaders Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler said they support Kuminga and expect professionalism once he returns, as the forward skipped Butler’s minicamp and was absent from media day.
• The Warriors contacted Kuminga’s agent over the weekend but reported momentum is limited, and the team’s to‑the‑dollar flexibility for additional moves — including a hoped‑for deal with Seth Curry, per Marc Stein — hinges on how Kuminga’s contract is settled.
