Timberwolves agree to deal with Jonathan Kuminga to fill power forward void, AP source says
The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached an agreement with power forward Jonathan Kuminga on a two-year, $12.4 million contract, according to a source with knowledge of the deal. Kuminga, who will turn 24 in October, averaged 16.1 points during the 2023-24 season with the Golden State Warriors before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks in February.
The contract includes a player option for the second season, giving Kuminga the opportunity to become a free agent after the upcoming year. The Timberwolves acquired Kuminga to fill their power forward void, trading Julius Randle and Naz Reid earlier in the offseason to acquire point guard LaMelo Ball. Kuminga's addition to the Timberwolves' lineup, alongside Jaden McDaniels and star forward Anthony Edwards, will provide a fresh start for the eager team.
Over his NBA career, Kuminga has averaged 12.5 points and 22.1 minutes in 278 games, shooting 50.2% from the floor.
