Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga has requested a trade from the only NBA team he’s ever known, according to reports.
Kuminga’s trade request Thursday comes on the first day he was eligible to be traded, according to the terms of a two-year, $48.5 million contract extension he signed with the Warriors in September 2025, [ESPN](https://go.skimresources.com?id=126006X1587346&xs=1&xcust=zmentz%7C&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.espn.com%2Fnba%2Fstory%2F_%2Fid%2F47619565%2Fsources-jonathan-kuminga-demanding-trade-away-warriors&product_category=Sporting+Goods%3EAthletics%3EBasketball) reports.
The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 5. Kuminga has a $24.3 million team option on his contract for the 2026-27 NBA season.
Kuminga, 23, is in his fifth season with the Warriors after Golden State drafted him seventh overall in the 2021 NBA Draft. This season, the 6-foot-7 forward is averaging 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 24.8 minutes in 18 games, including 13 starts.
However, Kuminga hasn’t played in any of the Warriors’ past 13 games, dating back to his last appearance on December 18 at Phoenix. He started the Warriors’ first 12 games this season before being demoted to a bench role by head coach Steve Kerr.
Kuminga previously averaged 15.3 ppg last season and a career-high 16.1 ppg during the 2023-24 NBA season. For his career, he’s averaging 12.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 22.2 minutes. He also helped Golden State win the 2022 NBA Finals over the Boston Celtics.
