What Happens if Jonathan Kuminga Declines the Qualifying Offer?

Restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga weighs a $7.9 million qualifying offer with a no-trade clause as the Warriors seek to avoid losing him for nothing next summer.

  • On Monday, Jonathan Kuminga did not attend the Warriors' media day at Chase Center, reinforcing that his contract stalemate will likely reach Wednesday's deadline despite team support.
  • Kuminga remains unsigned after offseason talks, rejecting Golden State Warriors' multi-year offers up to $75.2 million while seeking player-option security over team options.
  • Curry, Butler and Draymond Green spoke about Kuminga, backing him as he averaged 15.3 points last season but saw reduced minutes after an ankle injury.
  • The Warriors proceeded with roster moves, signing Al Horford, committing to Gary Payton II and De'Anthony Melton, and adding Ja'vier Francis on an Exhibit 10 deal as they seek clarity on Kuminga soon.
  • NBA deadlines limit extensions and set the timetable: Kuminga must accept the qualifying offer by Wednesday, October 1, 11:59 p.m. ET, with limited extensions until March 1, as players want him back for the Oct. 21 season opener.
