Warriors Set Roster After Jonathan Kuminga Agrees to Two-Year, Team-Option Deal

The contract’s team option preserves midseason flexibility for a possible move.

Overview

  • Jonathan Kuminga signed for about $48.5 million over two years with a 2026-27 team option, ending a summer-long restricted free agency stalemate.
  • The agreement cleared the way to finalize veteran additions, including Al Horford and Seth Curry, with deals announced Wednesday.
  • Steve Kerr said he will meet with Kuminga immediately, noting the offense runs through Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler and emphasizing defense and fit.
  • GM Mike Dunleavy Jr. voiced confidence in the roster, saying Jimmy Butler’s addition lessened the need for splashy summer moves while leaving room to reevaluate during the season.
  • Reporting indicates Kuminga becomes trade-eligible in mid-January, and De’Anthony Melton is expected to miss the early portion of the regular season as he finishes ACL rehab.
