Report: Jonathan Kuminga Has Played His Final Game With Warriors

The Jonathan Kuminga drama in Golden State is quickly coming to a close. Ever since he accepted a two-year offer as an RFA after a summer of haggling, a trade of the former No. 7 overall pick has been hanging over the franchise.

Now, according to a report, Kuminga has played his final game with the Warriors. The team will be trading him in short order, and nobody is taking any chances on an injury putting the kibosh on a deal.

Brett Siegel of Clutch Points says that there's a mutual understanding between the Warriors and the Kuminga camp that a trade will be reached over the course of the next four weeks. And that's why he'll remain out of the lineup.

"Kuminga and his camp believe it is in his best interest to stay ready behind the scenes and no longer let Kerr's decisions regarding the young forward's minutes impact his value in the eyes of other teams that have interest in him around the league. Not to mention, Kuminga's side doesn't want to risk him getting injured.

"Despite Kuminga's value clearly decreasing and teams believing they can acquire the 23-year-old at a discounted rate compared to previous years, the Warriors have been discussing several avenues with teams still registering interest in him."

Kuminga last played on Dec. 18th, and has been riding the bench for the last nine Warriors contests. He's been a DNP-CD for 13 of the last 14 games, and has sat for 20 of the last 25.

The 23-year-old has been averaging a three-year low 11.8 points in his 18 games, with 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists, in 24.8 minutes per night.

The deadline is February 5th, but Kuminga becomes trade eligible as of January 15th, and most expect a deal to come pretty much right around that mid-January date.
