The athletic forward, who will become a restricted free agent in the offseason, has not played in the Dubs\u2019 most important games this season. Golden State might have to agree to send Kuminga elsewhere for the right price.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Stein had this to report about Kuminga\u2019s status with the Warriors:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Nets, at present, are projected to be the only team with $40 million in salary cap space this summer, theoretically positioning them to mount a firm Kuminga pursuit if they wish.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;That lack of abundant cap space has led various team strategists this week to suggest that a sign-and-trade could be the ultimate mechanism that delivers the former No. 7 pick out of the Bay Area come July.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/brooklyn-nets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Brooklyn Nets<\/a>, valued at $4.8 billion by Forbes, have not shown their \u201ctrue level of interest,\u201d according to the NBA insider. Still, the team could take a chance at the uber-athletic and talented forward, who has fallen out of the Warriors\u2019 rotation following Jimmy Butler\u2019s ascendance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/golden-state-warriors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Golden State Warriors<\/a> coach Steve Kerr sidelined Kuminga on Apr. 13 for an important regular season game against the LA Clippers. After the game, he spent time working on his shots for a possible appearance in the play-in tournament. Kerr kept him out against the Memphis Grizzlies and did not let him see action in Game 1 against the Houston Rockets on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>Only time will tell if Jonathan Kuminga will see action for the Dubs again.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Steve Kerr praises Jonathan Kuminga\u2019s \u201cattitude\u201d amid benching in key games<\/h2>\n<p>Steve Kerr has never been afraid to bench superstars when he sees the necessity. He did it to Jayson Tatum and Joel Embiid in the 2024 Olympics. Kerr also praised them for keeping a positive vibe despite the tough situation.<\/p>\n<p>Kerr returned to the same situation after benching Jonathan Kuminga. He had this to say after the forward\u2019s DNP against the Houston Rockets on Sunday:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Jonathan [Kuminga] has been fantastic. His attitude, his energy on the bench, cheering guys on, staying ready. He&#8217;s a great, great young guy. This has been tough on him, but he&#8217;s doing exactly what he should be doing, which is staying ready.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Kerr, Tatum and Embiid won the gold medal in Paris. How this season will end for the multi-titled coach and the young forward is still up in the air. Kerr could still be praising Jonathan Kuminga&#8217;s attitude when the time comes to play or trade him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticd.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/574869-1717241309-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Michael Macasero&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nMichael Macasero brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his coverage of basketball at Sportskeeda with over 18 years of diverse work experience.
