Overview

  • Multiple reports say the Kings and Suns proposed sign-and-trade packages for Kuminga in the offseason, with the Bucks also linked by interest, but Golden State declined the offers.
  • Kuminga cannot be traded until Jan. 15 due to his new contract, a timing factor league observers note will shape the Warriors’ midseason options.
  • After opening as a starter, Kuminga was moved to the bench on Nov. 12 and has not played since because of knee tendinitis.
  • A team source told ESPN’s Anthony Slater that Kuminga “feels like the scapegoat again,” and separate reporting says he asked Steve Kerr to coach him harder, prompting more direct in-game feedback.
  • The Warriors are evaluating roster needs over the next two months, including De'Anthony Melton’s return and Al Horford’s fit, as they gauge Kuminga’s value and on-court fit given his uneven play and 32.4% three-point shooting.
