Jonathan Kuminga Agrees to Short-Term Deal with Timberwolves Over Longer Offers from Lakers, Bulls, and Blazers

Shams Charania (ESPN) reported that free-agent wing Jonathan Kuminga signed a two-year, $13 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves (plus a player option), turning down a similar starting role and roughly $12M+ per year over three years from the Lakers, plus interest from the Bulls and Trail Blazers. He prioritized the shorter deal for greater future control and a starting spot alongside Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert on a Western Conference contender.
