The Golden State Warriors plan on extending the $7.9 million qualifying offer to Jonathan Kuminga this offseason, sources tell The Athletic. This will make him a restricted free agent and both sides are expected to explore sign-and-trade scenarios.
While Steve Kerr has struggled to give Kuminga consistent minutes and trust, the 2021 lottery pick remains a favorite of Joe Lacob. Lacob is unlikely to sign off on letting Kuminga leave the Warriors without something in return.

MINNEAPOLIS - Steph Curry, already slumped in his chair in the visiting locker room at Target Center, sank lower and tilted his head back so his eyes pointed at the ceiling. The frustration was visible on his expressionless face, in his steely eyes. Hours earlier, the Golden State Warriors' unofficial mantra entering Game 5 against the Minnesota Timberwolves had been borrowed from the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who shocked the world by rallying from a 3-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees.

Pat Spencer is here because of his grandfather. He's on the Golden State Warriors, hoopin' in the 2025 playoffs, because George Robey was his best friend. They called him Pop. Spencer was a kid when they'd hang out in the basement. Playing ping-pong. Playing pool. Going through his Pop's boxes of baseball cards.

MINNEAPOLIS - Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry left the first half of Game 1 against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a left hamstring strain. He asked out and went straight to the locker room during a timeout. General manager Mike Dunleavy checked on him and the team quickly ruled him out for the night. Curry and the Warriors were in control when he went down, up 30-20 after the third of Draymond Green's four first half 3s.

SAN FRANCISCO - As he backpedaled following his stepback 3-pointer over P.J. Washington, in front of Dallas' bench, Steph Curry pulled out his now world-famous celebration. Night. Night. The oddity about this one, however, was that 2:50 remained. In the third quarter. Curry shunned his usual concerns about pulling out his gesture too early. His one worry is pulling out the celebration and then losing the game. But in a rare instance, Curry did not filter his confidence.

The crowd erupted. The arena that would later be named Oracle, and become famous for its intensity, rocked with fervor. A Y2K adaption of a roaring Colosseum. Shaquille O'Neal's eyes bugged behind his radio-sized Sony VX1000 camcorder. Kevin Garnett - astonished to the point of confusion - put his camcorder down instead of filming the reaction. With an ecstatic Chris Webber draped all over him, KG stared in bewilderment at the alien in purple. Ray Allen fell onto his back on the hardwood.

Nikola Vucevic views the Golden State Warriors as a "desirable destination" should he get traded from the Chicago Bulls, according to Anthony Slater and Marcus Thompson II of The Athletic. The Warriors currently view acquiring Vucevic as a secondary option before the upcoming trade deadline. The Bulls are looking to get a first-round pick in return for Vucevic. The Warriors are also believed to prefer trading for Zach LaVine instead of Jimmy Butler.
