Overview

• Jonathan Kuminga returned on a two‑year, $48.5 million contract that includes a second‑year team option, with reports indicating he waived an inherent no‑trade clause and would be trade‑eligible in mid‑January.
• Golden State officially signed 39‑year‑old center Al Horford to a two‑year deal with a player option and completed additions of De’Anthony Melton and Seth Curry as training camp opened.
• Steve Kerr said he will meet with Kuminga, reiterated the offense will run through Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III, and asked Kuminga to prioritize defense, rebounding and running the floor.
• General manager Mike Dunleavy Jr. expressed confidence in the current roster and said he doesn’t see an immediate need to make a trade, while noting the team has the assets to act if needed.
• Coaches and analysts highlighted Horford’s spacing and versatility as a key fit that broadens lineup options, with Melton rehabbing an ACL injury and expected to miss at least the first few games.
