Warriors Poised to Explore Jonathan Kuminga Trades After Benching, Kerr Cites Consistency

Kerr frames Kuminga's future as performance-driven ahead of his Jan. 15 trade window.

Overview

  • Kuminga was a healthy DNP in a 123-91 win at Chicago, with Steve Kerr saying the lineup shift followed a dip in the forward’s recent play.
  • Kerr praised Kuminga’s ambition but stressed that consistent production is required for steady minutes and starts.
  • The coach said Kuminga practiced well and added that he wants the player to reach his potential whether with Golden State or elsewhere.
  • Because of his two-year extension, Kuminga cannot be traded until Jan. 15, and multiple outlets report the Warriors intend to gauge his market ahead of the Feb. 5 deadline.
  • Reporting cites renewed interest from the Suns and Kings and floats a hypothetical three-team framework sending Kuminga to the Bulls and bringing Daniel Gafford and Ayo Dosunmu to Golden State.
