The Minnesota Timberwolves are pursuing restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga, per trade rumors. According to NBA insider Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com, both the Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers are competing for the former NBA champion forward. Siegel also stated that the Timberwolves would be a "best fit" for Kuminga, given their need for another dynamic forward and their ability to play an uptempo style of offense.
The Timberwolves have been linked to Kuminga for some time, and their pursuit could involve a sign-and-trade with the Atlanta Hawks. Kuminga could also be interested in a one-year contract from the Timberwolves, allowing him to rebuild his value and return to the market in 2027. While the Lakers remain heavily linked to Kuminga, Minnesota is also showing interest in the forward.
