Jonathan Kuminga Fantasy Stats

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is fresh off of his best season yet and is entering a big contract year with his rookie deal set to expire at the end of the upcoming season. The two sides were not able to agree on a rookie contract extension, so he will be a restricted free agent during the 2025 offseason. Last year, Kuminga averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.6 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .529/.321/.746. He's set to receive even more minutes heading into this season, so he'll be playing for even more money now.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga said on Monday that he was hopeful an extension with the Warriors could get completed prior to the October 21st deadline. He went on to state, "I'm not really concerned about it. If I get it, if I don't, it's cool." Kuminga excelled in his 46 games as a starter last season, posting up 17.2 PPG and 5.2 RPG in starts. With Klay Thompson headed off to Dallas, Kuminga's role will be less threatened and his production levels should increase. The 21-year-old won't be the recipient of the additional threes Thompson provided Golden State, but he'll continue to be a solid rebounder and a great contributor at the rim. With a big season on board, Warriors fans and fantasy managers alike will be eager to see what he does in an elevated role throughout a full season. Those looking to draft Kuminga should be able to find him around the #100 pick in their upcoming draft.

According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, "significant progress" in contract talks between the Golden State Warriors and forward Jonathan Kuminga has not been made. The 2021 No. 7 overall pick is entering the final season of his rookie contract. While the Warriors dismissed trade inquiries this offseason from other teams, it doesn't appear both sides are close to securing an extension. Kuminga finished last season by averaging a career-high 16.1 points and 4.8 rebounds. However, with Klay Thompson now in Dallas, the expectations are higher for the 21-year-old. His shooting percentage from deep needs to improve. But Kuminga will be a consistent member of the Warriors' rotation in 2024-25, giving him value in all fantasy setups. Both sides have until October 21 to agree on a new deal. If it isn't finalized by then, Kuminga will be a restricted free agent next summer.

According to Golden State Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy Jr., there are plans to discuss a contract extension with forward Jonathan Kuminga. The 2021 No. 7 overall pick had the best season of his career in 2023-24, averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. He also made 46 appearances in the starting lineup, more than his first two seasons combined. With Klay Thompson now in Dallas, the door is open for others to step up offensively behind Stephen Curry, who could also ink an extension of his own in the near future. With that in mind, Kuminga's pre-draft fantasy ranking is higher than ever. However, there are things he must address, specifically his career-low 32.1% shooting from the three-point line from last season. But with a max contract potentially on the line, Kuminga have plenty of motivation to produce.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been in the rumor mill quite a bit this offseason in the midst of the Lauri Markkanen trade talks. After recent news saying that the Warriors are not including Kuminga in trade talks, it looks like they'll need to work on extensions for a couple of their younger players. Kuminga and Moses Moody are looking to get themselves some extra money, and the former is looking for a max extension from his rookie deal. Other players to get max extensions from the 2021 rookie class include Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Evan Mobley, and Franz Wagner. Kuminga improved in every category last season as he averaged 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per game.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has been off the table in trade talks for Utah Jazz star Lauri Markkanen. "I'm not going to get into specifics like that, there's no way," said Warriors owner Joe Lacob to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic. "(But) I don't want to give (Podziemski) up, or JK (Jonathan Kuminga). We love these guys. And Moses (Moody), Trayce (Jackson-Davis). These are good young players." After stalling in his development for a bit, Kuminga took a big step forward in 2023-24, averaging 16.1 points and 4.8 rebounds in 26.3 minutes. The Warriors see him as a building block for the future, and Kuminga certainly has a lot more room to improve, as he will be only 22 next season.

According to ESPN's Ramona Shelburne, speaking on 95.7 The Game, the Warriors aren't expected to trade forward Jonathan Kuminga this summer. The Warriors undoubtedly need to tweak the roster to compete in a stacked Western Conference. But Kuminga, who was once rumored to be on the move, is anticipated to remain included in the team's plans moving ahead. The 21-year-old had a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign. However, he averaged 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists in 41 games to end the year. With that said, Kuminga appears ready to take a leap in his development, and he'll likely see more than enough interest from fantasy managers heading toward the new season.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (groin) won't play on Friday versus the Pelicans. With Klay Thompson (knee) not in the lineup for Thursday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers, The 2021 No. 7 overall pick got extra work, logging 34 minutes to finish with 19 points, six rebounds, and one steal. But it's the second of back-to-back contests, so Kuminga is likely getting the night off to rest, considering he's been banged up over the last month. With that said, Kuminga's absence could keep the door open for Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody to remain more involved than usual.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (pelvis) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kuminga played well, dropping 19 points with six rebounds during Thursday's game. However, it appears he picked up a pelvis contusion during the process. It's worth noting that Kuminga was filling in for Draymond Green (knee) who is now listed as probable for Friday. The return of Green means that Kuminga would move to the bench and would lose most of his streaming appeal anyway. Fantasy managers would have to check back closer to tip-off for more information.

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (knee) will play on Sunday against Utah. He's missed the previous six games because of knee tendinitis, so he could see fewer minutes than usual. However, with Andrew Wiggins (ankle) and Stephen Curry (rest) out, Kuminga should be on the floor enough to warrant DFS consideration.
