Overview
- Minnesota acquired Konchar in the Aug. 29 Josh Green trade and then waived and stretched his contract so the Timberwolves could create apron room to sign Jonathan Kuminga.
- League reporting on Sept. 15 says the Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Toronto Raptors have shown interest in signing Konchar before training camp.
- Konchar profiles as a high‑energy defensive wing who rebounds, defends multiple positions and creates steals while averaging about 4.4 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 19.9 minutes last season.
- Toronto faces the tightest path to add him because of apron limits and roster construction while Miami is linked specifically to using its 15th roster spot to pursue him.
- Because Minnesota will pay Konchar’s full guaranteed salary this season he can wait for the best fit and clubs can also target him later via buyouts or midseason moves if preseason plans change.
