Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Timme agreed to a contract that lets him compete for a roster spot in Minnesota’s training camp.
- Timme earned his chance through strong G League play, averaging about 23.7 points, 8.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists in a reported sample while on South Bay.
- He has two NBA seasons of experience, averaging roughly 5.6 points and 2.7 rebounds with Brooklyn and Los Angeles, and spent 2025–26 on a Lakers two‑way deal.
- The move follows Minnesota’s summer trades of Julius Randle and Naz Reid, which left the team with inexperienced backup bigs and created a need for a more proven offensive frontcourt option.
- Timme projects as an offensive, low‑post scorer and passer rather than a rim protector, and his camp deal is a low‑risk way for the Timberwolves to add experienced depth if the young bigs are not ready.
