Jonathan Kuminga signs two-year, $13 million contract with Wolves

Jonathan Kuminga has decided to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, opting against the Los Angeles Lakers despite a potentially lucrative offer. His choice follows a lengthy free agency period during which the Lakers, Bulls, and Blazers were also interested. Kuminga, who averaged 12.2 points last season, represents a significant missed opportunity for the Lakers, who now face challenges in reshaping their roster with training camp approaching. The Timberwolves will utilize the $6.1 million taxpayer mid-level exception to sign him, though they must first adjust their payroll.
