Jonathan Kuminga Focused on Refining Chemistry with Jimmy Butler and Al Horford for 2025-26 Season

Golden State Warriors' 22-year-old forward Jonathan Kuminga is poised to build on his promising finish to the 2024-25 season, focusing on refining his on-court chemistry with veteran star Jimmy Butler. Kuminga highlighted the valuable experience gained playing alongside Butler during last season's Western Conference semifinal loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, where Kuminga led the Warriors in series scoring, shooting over 54 percent, after Stephen Curry's injury. Kuminga noted, "It’s very easy and simple to play with Jimmy," and looks forward to more time together in training camp to "figure out certain things." Additionally, coach Steve Kerr is excited about the potential of an Al Horford-Kuminga combination for the 2025-26 season, believing Horford's floor-spacing will provide Kuminga with the necessary room to operate, especially when Kuminga plays the four, aiming to stabilize his production and turn his lineups into winning combinations.
