Although the Warriors are widely expected to sign veteran center Al Horford, they have held off due to ongoing talks with Kuminga. The 39-year-old Horford has remained productive in the latter stages of his career, and he’ll likely hope to aid the Warriors in a deep playoff run after winning a ring with the Celtics in 2024.

The Jonathan Kuminga and Golden State Warriors drama is continuing to drag on as the summer is coming to an end. Kuminga had a promising rookie season, averaging 9.3 points in 16.9 minutes per game, while helping the Warriors win the NBA championship.

With that being said, a new report has come out about Kuminga and his current situation with Golden State. Anthony Slater of ESPN has reported that Kuminga rather accept his one-year, $7.9 million qualifying offer rather than taking the two-year, $45 million with a team option that the Warriors have offered him.
