One of the Golden State Warriors' young centers is turning heads after his statement regarding Jonathan Kuminga.
Young Warriors Center Turns Heads With Jonathan Kuminga Statement originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
It has been a disappointing offseason thus far for the Golden State Warriors as they have failed to make any move outside of the MLB draft.
Of course, the Warriors entered the summer looking to upgrade their roster around their star trio of Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green but that has not been the case thus far.
Golden State is still awaiting a decision on restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga as he is mulling whether to return to the Warriors with his role in the rotation next season uncertain.
While waiting for Kuminga, the Warriors have missed out on multiple free agent targets and it is appearing more likely that they are going to try and add a key player in a potential Kuminga sign-and-trade deal.
Despite that, Kumina could still end up return to Golden State next season but Trayce Jackson-Davis’s recent statement about Kuminga is turning heads.
“JK was a great teammate,” Jackson-Davis said about Kuminga.

This is an interesting thing for Jackson-Davis to say as it appears he may know that Kuminga might be on the move by using “was” in his statement.
Jackson-Davis’s statement quickly caught the attention of fans on social media as many pointed out that the Warriors young centered used “was” in his statement.
Of course, Kuminga’s role with the Warriors is up in the air next season after he fell out of Steve Kerr’s rotation entirely after they acquired Jimmy Butler last season until injuries in the playoffs forced Kerr to play him.
Because of this, Kuminga may be on his way out of Golden State this offseason and if he does elect to stay with the Warriors, it is likely that he will eventually be dealt ahead of next season’s trade deadline.
Either way, it appears that Kuminga’s time in Golden State is nearing an end as they try to build around their aging core and chase another title next season.
