Jonathan Kuminga Demands Warriors Trade on First Day of Eligibility

Jonathan Kuminga is reportedly demanding a trade from the Golden State Warriors, confirmed by multiple league sources including ESPN and NBC Sports Bay Area. The 23-year-old forward became trade eligible on January 15, 2026, after signing a two-year, $48.5 million contract on September 30. Kuminga has seen limited action, playing once in the last 17 games with 16 healthy DNP-CDs this season and 13 consecutive DNP-CDs. After starting the first 12 games of the 2025-26 season, he fell out of coach Steve Kerr’s rotation. The Kings and Mavericks have shown interest, but the Warriors have not guaranteed a trade before the Feb. 5 deadline, potentially waiting until summer.
