Jonathan Kuminga signed a two-year, $46.5 million extension with the Golden State Warriors, returning to camp eager to prove his fit long term. He emphasizes defense, conditioning, and a larger role, with Kerr planning a sit-down to set expectations. Kuminga posted 15.3 PPG and 4.6 RPG last season in limited minutes and had a 30-point playoff burst vs Minnesota, signaling a higher ceiling.

He swapped to No. 1, marking a fresh start as he turns 23. The deal brings stability and a clear path to a steady rotation, while the contract process underscored the NBA business. Fantasy managers should monitor his defensive impact and usage as camp unfolds, watching for minutes and shot volume to climb.
