Jonathan Kuminga signed with the Timberwolves on a two-year deal worth $12.4 million that includes a player option. Minnesota is banking on the former Warriors forward to start at power forward, a position they need to fill.
The contract gives Kuminga flexibility to opt out after year one, which could matter depending on how the Wolves perform and what his market looks like next summer. For Minnesota, it's a low-risk bet on a young player with athleticism and upside. The Wolves get depth at a position that's been a weakness, and Kuminga gets a clear path to consistent minutes.
