Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jonathan Kuminga seems to be developing a newfound interest in the Minnesota Vikings. The NBA team signed Kuminga to a two-year, $12.43 million contract in the offseason, and he has shown his support for the Vikings through social media. Before joining the Timberwolves, Kuminga played for the Warriors and Hawks, but it appears that his loyalty has shifted to Minnesota's football team.
In a recent Instagram Story post, Kuminga posed with a No. 22 Vikings jersey and helmet, seemingly as if he were on the field. He also participated in a route-running drill, as if he were trying out for Minnesota's 53-man roster. While football is not Kuminga's primary sport, the Timberwolves fans are hopeful that he will support the team in the upcoming 2026-27 season.
The Vikings are eager to bounce back after a disappointing 2025 season, and they hope that Kuminga's enthusiasm will contribute to the team's success. The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2026 season on September 13 against the Green Bay Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium.
