Warriors Re-sign Kuminga, Add Will Richard

The Golden State Warriors re-signed restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga to a two-year, $48.5 million contract with a second-year team option, giving the franchise flexibility to trade him once his restrictions lift in January. Golden State also finalized veteran additions, agreeing to a two-year, $12 million deal with a player option for Al Horford and bringing back guards De'Anthony Melton and Gary Payton II to bolster defense and shooting. The team traded for the draft rights to Florida wing Will Richard (No. 56) and signed him to a four-year rookie contract with two guaranteed seasons after a strong Summer League showing. These moves pair veteran experience with young talent to keep the Warriors competitive now while preserving roster flexibility and continuity as their core ages. The transactions reshape the roster heading into the season and create short-term trade and cap maneuverability.
