Lakers Interested In Jonathan Kuminga
The Los Angeles Lakers have interest in signing Jonathan Kuminga in free agency, sources tell The Athletic. Kuminga is a free agent after the Atlanta Hawks declined their 24.3 million option. Kuminga signed a two-year, 48.5 million deal with the Golden State Warriors last September after a prolonged restricted free agency. In 16 games with the Hawks, Kuminga averaged 12.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22.1 minutes. Kuminga would fill a need for the Lakers for athleticism on the wing.
