Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors had their Media Day on Monday without restricted free agent Jonathan Kuminga. The young forward skipped the interviews with the media as his contract stalemate with the organization isn't over yet. His decision not to show up on Monday was reported by ESPN's Shams Charania and Anthony Slater on Sunday.

Charania and Slater also reported that the Warriors have given Kuminga a new contract offer. From a two-year, $45 million deal, Golden State offered him a three-year, $75 million contract. However, the 22-year-old still didn't agree since both offers have team options in the final year.

The only offer the Warriors gave Kuminga without a team option was a three-year, $54 million contract.

On Monday, Curry was asked about his thoughts on what Kuminga's agent said. The media member claims that Aaron Turner, the agent, said that if they are given the deal they desire, they would be dedicated to winning a championship with the Warriors.

"I only listen to my teammate, I don't listen to agents or anybody speaking on behalf. I'll hear that from JK," Curry said.
