Jonathan Kuminga signs two-year deal with Minnesota Timberwolves

Jonathan Kuminga has chosen to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves, agreeing to a two-year, $13 million deal. The Los Angeles Lakers had courted Kuminga throughout the summer, promising him a starting role, but struggled to finalize a sign-and-trade with the Atlanta Hawks. Kuminga joins a strong roster that includes Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. While the Lakers aimed to bolster their lineup with a two-way wing, Kuminga's inconsistency might lead some fans to view his decision positively.
