Kuminga Denies Turning Down Bigger Contract Offers
After signing with Minnesota, Jonathan Kuminga rejected claims from Lonzo Ball's podcast that he had passed up richer offers from Golden State or the Lakers.
Lonzo Ball's podcast had referenced offers Kuminga supposedly turned down in previous years:, and.
"Guys, I saw the interview, and I never turned down extra money. None of that was ever offered to me," Kuminga said.
Lonzo Ball responded on the podcast: "We apologise for the false information. That's not usually something we do."
Kuminga's agent, Aaron Turner, had previously confirmed in an interview that the forward did have offers on the table with higher salaries, but said the priority was a short-term deal that would let him prove himself on the court rather than lock in a bigger contract figure.
