Jonathan Kuminga’s teammate makes an anonymous request
The Golden State Warriors have been up and down so far in the 2025-26 NBA season, currently sitting at 22-19 heading into Thursday night’s home game against the New York Knicks. One of the biggest storylines so far for the Warriors this year has turned around around Jonathan a former lottery pick who has been removed from head coach Steve Kerr’s rotation in recent weeks.
Kuminga was long thought to be on his way out of the Warriors last summer, before the two sides eventually reached an agreement to keep him in the Bay Area for another year, but given his current playing time situation, many suspect a trade could be on the horizon.
However, not everyone is convinced that Kuminga will be in a new team by the end of the year.
“I could see it happening,” one Warriors player said of the possibility of Kuminga remaining with the team until the end of this season, per Marcus Thompson II, Nick Friedel and Sam Amick of The Athletic.
Another player made a request for the Warriors coaching staff should Kuminga remain on the team.
“…he has to play,” the player said.
Overall, Kuminga has shown some real positives during his time with the Warriors over the past four years, including during last year’s Western Conference semifinal series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, where he was suddenly thrust into a big role after Stephen Curry’s unfortunate injury and mostly played well.
Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints he reported it earlier Cummings’ Warriors days are likely coming to an end, with a trade on the horizon, but it’s unclear at this point which teams might be interested in the services of the former 2021 first-round pick, and what they might give up for him.
Either way, the Warriors will meet the Knicks at 10:00 PM ET.
