Overview

• Shams Charania reported Jonathan Kuminga was the lone Warrior absent from a players‑only minicamp in San Diego organized by Jimmy Butler.
• Negotiations remain deadlocked over a player option that Kuminga wants in a multiyear deal, with reported Warriors offers of three years at $75.2 million, two years at $45 million, and three years at $54 million all declined.
• The Athletic reported renewed talks with the Kings on a sign‑and‑trade framework sending Malik Monk and a lottery‑protected 2030 first to Golden State while Sacramento would sign Kuminga to a three‑year, $63 million contract.
• Team sources cited in reporting say the Warriors previously rejected that package and are pushing for fewer protections on the pick and a separate destination for Monk’s contract, with no significant progress yet.
• Kuminga has until Oct. 1 to accept a $7.9 million qualifying offer that carries de facto no‑trade protection for this season and would set up unrestricted free agency in 2026, while Golden State enters camp with nine players under contract.
