ESPN famous reporter Sharania and Warriors reporter Anthony Slater previously reported that several sources revealed that Kumingga refused the Warriors' two-year, $45 million renewal offer, because the Warriors wanted to join the team option in the second year of their contract, and hoped that Kumingga would give him the veto power given to him by the labor-management agreement.
Anthony Slater recently said that Kumingga believes that the (renewal) contract offer offered by the Warriors regards it as a "chess piece" and that the agreement he hopes will show that he is an important foundation for team building, not just a trading asset.
In the regular season of the 2024-25 season, Kumingga played 47 games, averaging 24.3 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game; in the playoffs, Kumingga played 8 games, averaging 23.4 minutes per game, scoring 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game.
