What happened: John Konchar cleared waivers after the Timberwolves used the stretch provision on his contract following their trade with Utah. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent Monday at 5 p.m. ET.

Why it matters: The stretch frees Minnesota from Josh Green's salary and supplies the financial flexibility needed to officially sign Jonathan Kuminga, part of the same reshuffling that followed the Jazz-Wolves trade. The maneuver leaves Minnesota $4.5 million under the second apron.

What to watch: Konchar hits the open market Monday afternoon as an unrestricted free agent.
