Warriors Sign Taevion Kinsey to Exhibit 10 Deal as Kuminga Impasse Persists

With Jonathan Kuminga’s restricted free agency unresolved, Golden State is prioritizing flexibility over immediate veteran additions.

Overview

  • Kinsey’s contract is an Exhibit 10 that can pay up to $75,000 if he spends 60 days with Santa Cruz, whose G League rights to him were acquired in a three-team trade.
  • The 25-year-old guard went undrafted in 2023, has yet to play in an NBA regular-season game, starred at Marshall, and was selected to the NBA G League United roster for the 2025 FIBA Intercontinental Cup.
  • This marks the Warriors’ first confirmed offseason addition and is structured as a training-camp/G League development move rather than a standard-roster signing.
  • Reports continue to tie Golden State to veterans such as Al Horford, Gary Payton II, De’Anthony Melton, Seth Curry and Malcolm Brogdon, with Cody Martin also on the bench-target list, and the team is reportedly unwilling to include Buddy Hield or Moses Moody in sign-and-trade talks.
  • ESPN’s panel projected the Warriors as a leading candidate for an in-season splash, noting a reported two-year, $45 million offer to Kuminga that would place him on a tradable number by January.
