What happened: The Minnesota Timberwolves signed forward Drew Timme to a training camp deal. He joins a preseason competition for one of the final frontcourt roster spots alongside Norchad Omier.
Why it matters: Timme spent the 2025-26 season on a two-way deal with the Los Angeles Lakers before missing out on a playoff roster spot to Nick Smith Jr. Minnesota currently holds 13 guaranteed standard contracts, leaving two potential vacancies.
By the numbers: Across 36 appearances with the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Lakers over the past two seasons, Timme averaged 5.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 13.6 minutes per game.
What to watch: The Timberwolves must finalize their 15-man roster by Oct. 20.
