The Golden State Warriors are less than a week away from training camp, but Jonathan Kuminga is still absent as contract talks stall.
Jimmy Butler organized a team minicamp in San Diego this week, bringing together Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the rest of the roster for on- and off-court bonding.
“Jimmy Butler is actually holding a team minicamp in San Diego this week. This is the first full year of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler all together,” ESPN’s Shams Charania explained on NBA Today. “One player who is not there, the only player on the potential Warriors roster that isn’t there, is restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. My understanding is he is not appearing at this team function, this camaraderie minicamp in San Diego. It’s still at a stalemate.”

Charania added further details on the negotiations.
“I spoke to Aaron Turner, Kuminga’s agent, today, and he told me that the player option still remains critical in these conversations,” Charania said. “We know about the three-year, $75 million offer, or the two-year, $45 million offer, both still have team options in them. Him, just like Quentin Grimes, has until Oct. 1, before his decision, but these sides are still at a stalemate.”
NBC Sports Bay Area’s Dalton Johnson also confirmed Kuminga was not in attendance, despite the team hoping he would be.
As @ShamsCharania reported on NBA Today, Jimmy Butler currently is having a team mini camp in San Diego and Jonathan Kuminga isn’t there, which is obviously understandable for someone who remains unsigned

Turner made it clear last week that there is no animosity between Kuminga and Golden State’s veteran core. He stressed there are “no drama or bad feelings” between his client and Butler, Curry, or Green.
