Kuminga hasn\u2019t averaged more than 26.3 minutes per game in any of his first four seasons in the NBA with Golden State, and he\u2019s also come off the bench in far more games than he\u2019s started.<\/p>\n<p>Kuminga seemingly gave fans a glimpse of how impactful he could be with a larger role after guard Stephen Curry went down with a hamstring injury in Golden State\u2019s second-round series against the Minnesota Timberwolves this season.<\/p>\n<p>He scored 18 points or more in every one of the final four contests in the best-of-seven series and went off for a whopping 30 points while shooting 11-of-18 from the field and 3-of-4 from deep in Golden State\u2019s Game 3 loss.<\/p>\n<p>At just 22 years old, Kuminga may still have enough time and untapped potential in the tank to eventually evolve into a very good player at the NBA level.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe the Heat are a team that could help Kuminga unlock his potential, but in light of Five Reasons Sports\u2019 report, fans of the team shouldn\u2019t get their hopes up that he will land with the Heat in the near future. He will still be a name to monitor at the very least, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five Reasons Sports has reported that the Heat&#8217;s interest in acquiring Jonathan Kuminga has been &#8220;overstated, at least at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":74300,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74298","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
