Report: Benched Jonathan Kuminga demands trade from Warriors

Forward Jonathan Kuminga has demanded a trade from the Golden State Warriors, ESPN reported Thursday.

Under restrictions of Kuminga's contract, Thursday is the first day he can be traded, even though the Warriors essentially already have moved on from him.

The trade deadline is Feb. 5.

Kuminga was a starter the first 12 games of the season, but head coach Steve Kerr moved him to the bench Nov. 12 for a game against the San Antonio Spurs after a subpar stretch of three contests.
