On July 15, 2026, former NBA guard Iman Shumpert unintentionally claimed that the Los Angeles Lakers had signed forward Jonathan Kuminga. The comment, made in a public setting, quickly circulated online before being identified as a mistake.
Neither the Lakers nor Kuminga’s current organization have announced any agreement, and no transaction involving the 23-year-old forward appears on the league’s official transaction log.
Shumpert, 36, has not issued a formal clarification.
