Timberwolves Sign Drew Timme to Training-Camp Deal

The low-cost, non-guaranteed move gives Minnesota frontcourt insurance following this summer’s trades of Julius Randle and Naz Reid.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Saturday, September 26, 2026, that Drew Timme agreed to a training-camp contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves and will compete for a roster spot.
  • Timme will vie in camp with KJ Martin and Norchad Omier for limited frontcourt opportunities and does not have a guaranteed rotation place.
  • The Timberwolves enter camp with 13 guaranteed standard contracts, all two-way slots occupied, and veteran Trey Lyles on a partially guaranteed deal.
  • Timme earned his NBA chance after a dominant G League season and a 2025–26 two-way stint with the Lakers but has limited NBA minutes and career averages near 5.6 points and 2.7 rebounds.
  • If Minnesota waives Timme he would likely join the Iowa Wolves, highlighting the common G League-to-NBA development path that lets teams add low-cost depth while preserving roster and cap flexibility.
