Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga is reportedly “very frustrated” with his role under coach Steve Kerr, according to an NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Jonathan Kuminga’s role with the Golden State Warriors has become one of the most talked-about storylines in the NBA this season.

League sources, per Chris Haynes, say a growing disconnect between the young forward and head coach Steve Kerr has raised questions about his future in San Francisco.
Rival teams expect Kuminga to be available once January 15 arrives, the date he becomes trade-eligible after signing a two-year, $48.5 million extension in late September. Multiple sources believe he may not be with the Warriors past the trade deadline.
Haynes added that Kuminga has been “very frustrated” this season and has met with Kerr several times, though the meetings have not produced a clear or consistent role in the rotation.
This tension comes as Golden State tries to secure its playoff position, currently sitting eighth in the Western Conference with a 16-15 record.
The 23-year-old forward averages 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 24.8 minutes per game across 18 appearances.
