Kuminga said all the right things at Timberwolves’ introductory press conference
Jonathan Kuminga joins the Timberwolves, expecting to start at power forward and contribute on both ends, drawn by the team's perceived winning culture.
- On Thursday, 23-year-old forward Jonathan Kuminga officially joined the Minnesota Timberwolves, signing a one-year, $6.5 million contract over the Los Angeles Lakers in NBA free agency.
- Kuminga cited the Timberwolves' "winning culture" as the primary reason for his decision after speaking with Minnesota's front office and players including Anthony Edwards, who called him repeatedly.
- Timberwolves President Tim Connelly highlighted Kuminga's 40 career playoff games and near 60% NBA winning percentage, positioning the forward as an asset in transition and perimeter defense.
- The Lakers must now adjust their starting lineup after missing out on Kuminga, with three starters from last year's squad no longer on the roster.
- For the 2026-27 campaign, Kuminga plans to focus on contributing defensively alongside Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels, viewing this season as critical to proving his value.
