The Golden State Warriors’ trade saga with Jonathan Kuminga is officially ending as the team is dealing the 23-year-old forward and guard Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis, ESPN reports.
In another deal, the Warriors are sending Trayce Jackson-Davis to Toronto for a second-round pick, per ESPN.
Kuminga had been in a tumultuous relationship with the Warriors and head coach Steve Kerr over playing time and production dating back to last season. He’s played in just two games since Dec. 18, currently out with an injury.
While Kuminga gets a fresh start in Atlanta, Porzingis gets another in the Bay Area. Availability continues to be a persistent problem for Porzingis, who has appeared in just 17 games for the Hawks following his offseason trade by the Celtics. But if he can get back on the court he can provide needed size and additional scoring as a stretch 5 to Golden State.
This deal also seemingly ends the idea that Giannis Antetokounmpo could land in San Francisco ahead of the trade deadline, with ESPN saying the Warriors have ‘moved on.’
