BREAKING: Sources confirm to @NBCSWarriors Jonathan Kuminga is signing a two-year, $48.5 million contract with a team option on the second year to return to the Warriors
Warriors and NBA fans together expressed relief at the end of the months-long standoff.
the warriors and jonathan kuminga are the annoying couple in high school that always threatened to break up but never did. just do it. or don’t. leave your classmates out of it
Given the circumstances and how the saga has gone over the last few years, the player option for Kuminga simply was not going to happen. It wouldn’t make sense for the Warriors if they planned on keeping him, and it wouldn’t be attractive to teams who could trade for him
Kuminga became a restricted free agent at the conclusion of the 2024-25 NBA season. Back-and-forth negotiations dragged for what felt like an eternity for Warriors fans.
For now, the contract agreement gives Dub Nation some much-needed relief.
