Joining the Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Milwaukee Bucks as known suitors for Kuminga through potential sign-and-trade deals, the LA Clippers have also entered the race and expressed interest.
“Kuminga, 23, has also drawn sign-and-trade interest from the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Milwaukee Bucks,” according to HoopsHype’s Michael Scotto. “As Kuminga and his agent, Aaron Turner of Verus Basketball, navigate his free agency, each interested team has its own unique profile and variables being weighed, such as his average annual salary, roster fit, and deal structure.
“There is no specific dollar amount Kuminga is seeking that applies to all interested teams.”
Clippers enter sign-and-trade race for Jonathan Kuminga
Jonathan Kuminga entered unrestricted free agency this offseason after the Atlanta Hawks declined his $24.3 million team option for the 2026-27 season.
He started the 2025-26 campaign with the Golden State Warriors before being traded to the Hawks amid a standoff that lasted until the trade deadline.
In 36 games, Kuminga averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.3 assists while shooting 46.3% from the field and 33.3% from three-point range.
As such, the Los Angeles Clippers are also a well-known suitor for Peyton Watson, with the franchise linked to a potential sign-and-trade with the Denver Nuggets on the restricted free agent wing.
