Overview
- Multiple outlets report that the Timberwolves agreed to a non-guaranteed training-camp deal with Drew Timme on Saturday, September 26, 2026.
- The signing is a response to thinner proven depth behind starter Rudy Gobert after Minnesota traded Julius Randle and Naz Reid this offseason.
- Timme arrives off a dominant G League run—about 23.7 points and 8.5 rebounds per game in the cited sample—and has two years of limited NBA minutes with Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
- He will compete in camp with KJ Martin and Norchad Omier for one of the open fringe roster spots and remains two-way eligible while veteran young bigs Joan Beringer and Rocco Zikarsky develop.
- If Timme is waived after camp the likely outcome is an assignment to the Iowa Wolves, a common path that lets Minnesota keep roster flexibility while keeping depth nearby.
