Bones Hyland Returns to Timberwolves on One-Year Veteran's Minimum

Minnesota keeps a guard who revived his career in the rotation with a low-cost deal that preserves backcourt depth for the coming season.

Overview

Multiple reports say Hyland has agreed to a one-year veteran's minimum contract to return to the Timberwolves for next season.
As a five-year veteran the deal is worth roughly $2.7 million with an approximate $2.3 million cap hit for Minnesota.
Hyland earned the opportunity after a strong 2025–26 campaign in Minnesota when he averaged about 8.5 points, 2.6 assists and shot efficiently across 71 games.
Coverage describes the signing as depth at point guard and notes reporting that the team expects Hyland to sit behind LaMelo Ball if that high-profile trade is finalized, a detail still being reported as developing.
Timberwolves president Tim Connelly’s prior connection to Hyland and the guard’s chemistry with Ayo Dosunmu have made him a local favorite and give Minnesota low-cost continuity that could matter as the roster shifts.
