Minnesota Timberwolves Expected To Sign Bones Hyland To Final Roster Spot

Overview

  • League sources indicate Bones Hyland is the leading candidate to fill Minnesota’s lone open standard-contract slot for the 2025-26 season.
  • The Timberwolves have also pursued veteran options such as Malcolm Brogdon, Cam Payne and Landry Shamet before settling on Hyland.
  • Hyland joined Minnesota on a two-way contract in February, appearing in four NBA games and delivering a 39-point performance for the Iowa Wolves in the G League.
  • Minnesota entered training camp with 14 players on standard deals, creating an opening to bolster backcourt depth behind Mike Conley and rookie Rob Dillingham.
  • No official signing has been announced and the team may keep the final roster spot vacant to retain maximum trade flexibility.
