Golden State Warriors or not? Jonathan Kuminga reveals his future plans

Jonathan Kuminga has the option of considering the offers from other teams as he becomes a restricted free agent this year. The forward found it difficult at times to stay consistent in the game due to Steve Kerr’s strategic moves, which kept him on the bench more often than not.

This season saw Kuminga in action a lot many times as the veteran roster’s injuries required him to step up whenever needed.

Jonathan Kuminga shared whether he will be back with Golden State Warriors or not

Jonathan Kuminga’s bitter-sweet relationship with the Golden State Warriors is not reaching a dead end. At least, this is what Kuminga’s new plans suggest. The budding forward proved his mettle whenever given a chance in the 2024-25 season. The season saw him in action more than usual because of Stephen Curry’s and LeBron James’ injuries.Speculations were rife that Kuminga may entirely part ways with the Warriors, but the reality is different. Kuminga has suggested that he may consider being a Warriors forward in the coming season, too. Talking about his future, he didn’t show clarity. He said:“I don't know.Uh you know, I don't know. I still got to figure it out. I don't know. But, you know, I don't know. I still got to figure it out. We just finished playing one day ago, so I don't really I haven't think about anything yet.”

Later in the interview, he again kept the things not too open and said:“Uh like I say, you know, uh I ain't know what the future hold, you know, so anything that happened probably happened for a reason. Uh I'm just grateful to be here this time, you know. I still got a long summer to go to figure things out.”Kuminga’s current status is that of a restricted free agent. He will have the option to consider the offers from other teams.

Hence, the Golden State Warriors need to be ready with the offer he can’t refuse, should they want him on their side for the coming season.

Jonathan Kuminga’s performance this season

The budding star from the Golden State Warriors averaged 15.3 points this season. His other performance statistics include 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, with a field goal percentage of 45.4%. When Stephen Curry had to take rest due to injury, Kuminga delivered the scoring the Warriors needed.

While playing against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he shone by averaging 24.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.3 assists over the final four games of the Western Conference Semi-finals.

However, during the mid-season, his scoring dipped to an average of 12.2 points per game. But it was largely because his time on the court was limited post-Jimmy Butler’s entry. In addition, a prior ankle injury also posed hurdles.Also Read: Steve Kerr says Jonathan Kuminga isn't ready for a starring role on a Golden State Warriors team built around Stephen CurryWhile Steve Kerr is yet to make up his mind about Kuminga’s future place in the team, the budding star has kept his options open and is not completely shutting the door on his current team, the Warriors.
