Jonathan Kuminga’s Warriors Future in Limbo Amid Contract Stalemate

Jonathan Kuminga (Golden State Warriors)
September 2025

The Golden State Warriors remain locked in negotiations with restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, with no agreement reached despite a $45 million two-year offer. Phoenix Suns attempted a sign-and-trade, while offering Kuminga an $80–88 million deal to replace Kevin Durant’s role. Warriors rejected Phoenix’s package, insisting Kuminga will have a significant role under Steve Kerr this season. Despite past criticisms of fit, both sides now downplay tensions. The standoff leaves Kuminga’s future uncertain as his camp pushes for security, including a no-trade clause.
