Warriors have been stuck in limbo all summer because of the unresolved Jonathan Kuminga situation. While teams across the league have already made significant roster upgrades, Mike Dunleavy is yet to pull off his first offseason move. Dub Nation is eagerly waiting for the Kuminga domino to fall amid the potential sign-and-trade speculations. But it looks like Dunleavy has different intentions regarding the forward’s uncertain future.
During a recent appearance at the Summer League, the GM looked back on Kuminga’s impressive showing in the playoffs amid Stephen Curry’s absence. “I think it was a little challenging for him but when Steph went down, he stepped up. And that was admirable.” Dunleavy remarked. Well, JK’s performance was praise worthy as he averaged 24.2 points in the last four West Semis games against the Timberwolves despite Steve Kerr giving him inconsistent minutes throughout the season.
“A big reason why I want to bring him back.” Dunleavy claimed, revealing his intention to bring back Kuminga. Even during his end of season interview, the GM shared a similar sentiment, “As far as bringing him back next season I think it’s something that we’re very interested in doing.” Clearly, Mike is not opposed to the idea of extending JK’s stay in Golden State.
Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy said the way Jonathan Kuminga stepped up after Steph Curry got hurt vs Minnesota is “a big reason why I want to bring him back” in an ESPN halftime interview.
Kuminga, an RFA, scored 18, 30, 23 and 26 points in his final four games of the season.
