After a disappointing 2024-25 NBA season with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/golden-state-warriors\/\">Golden State Warriors<\/a>, Kuminga will enter the 2025 offseason as a restricted free agent.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Kerr&#8217;s rotations did not feature a lot of the young forward until his hand was forced. A hamstring injury to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/player\/stephen-curry\">Stephen Curry<\/a>\u00a0opened the door for more Kuminga minutes in their second-round matchup against the Minnesota Timberwilves.<\/p>\n<p>The fourth-year forward averaged 20.8 points, shooting 54.3 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from 3-point in the 4-1 series loss to the Timberwolves. Despite the encouraging play, many believe his future is unlikely to be with Golden State.<\/p>\n<div class=\"m-detail--body-item m-detail--body-item-inline\">\n<figure class=\"l-inline tml-image m-detail--tml-image--inline\"><a><picture class=\"is-loaded\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.webp 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.webp 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.webp 700w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><source srcset=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_380\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.jpg 380w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_620\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.jpg 620w, https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/.image\/c_limit%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_700\/MjE0OTI0MTAxMTcxNTUzMzAz\/usatsi_26180164.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1240px) 700px, (min-width: 675px) 620px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"green-opens-up-about-kuminga-s-future-in-the-nba\">Green opens up about Kuminga&#8217;s future in the NBA<\/h2>\n<p>Kuminga&#8217;s teammate,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/athlonsports.com\/nba\/player\/draymond-green\">Draymond Green<\/a>, loves to talk.

He said, listen, we all got to sit down. We\u00a0got to figure it out. It&#8217;s going to take a while to figure it out, but I appreciate\u00a0coach Kerr because he&#8217;s helped me get here where I am at.<\/p>\n<p>And that was such a responsible, great, well thought answer because it&#8217;s true. Has it always gone the way you want it to go? No, most guys are going to tell you I could do more of this.<\/p>\n<p>They don&#8217;t let me. Like,\u00a0that&#8217;s just the nature of what we do. Right? So we all have our trials and tribulations, our peaks and our valleys.
