Report: Multiple teams showing interest in Warriors restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga

After a slow start to the free agency window, the Jonathan Kuminga saga with the Golden State Warriors has continued. The former lottery pick is currently a restricted free agent without a deal through the opening days of free agency.

Different rumors and buzz have pointed towards multiple options regarding Kuminga, including a sign-and-trade with the Warriors and a new team or the 22-year-old wing potentially re-signing a new contract to stay in the Bay Area for the future.

As the speculation continues, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported multiple teams are showing interest in acquiring Kuminga via sign-and-trade. The Sacramento Kings and Washington Wizards have been linked to the Warriors, per Slater. The Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets have “registered varying levels of interest” in the former G League Ignite product, according to Slater siting league sources.

Kuminga is coming off an up and down season with the Warriors that included a significant ankle injury. In 47 games, Kuminga averaged 15.3 points on 45.4% shooting from the field to go along with 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

After returning from injury and playing alongside new acquisition Jimmy Butler, Kuminga fell out of Steve Kerr’s rotation at the end of the season.

However, following Steph Curry’s injury in the second round of the playoffs, Kuminga re-joined the rotation in impressive fashion in the postseason. In five games against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Kuminga averaged 20.8 points on 54.3% shooting from the floor, including a 30-point performance in Game 3 against the Timberwolves.
