Overview
- With two days left before the trade cutoff, Steve Kerr said Jonathan Kuminga will play if he is not dealt.
- Kuminga has a left‑knee bone bruise and was ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the 76ers.
- Jimmy Butler’s season‑ending knee injury has reshaped Golden State’s need for wing minutes and its deadline approach.
- Talks with the Kings “never went anywhere,” and Sacramento’s move for De’Andre Hunter cooled any pursuit of Kuminga.
- The Warriors maintain they will only trade Kuminga for sufficient value, while reports link him to speculative Giannis Antetokounmpo packages and fan backlash grows under #FreeKuminga.
