Wolves retain versatile center Naz Reid with 3-year, $42M deal

The Minnesota Timberwolves signed Naz Reid to a three-year, $42 million contract to keep the 23-year-old center.
Reid chose to stay in Minnesota because he wanted to continue improving with the team that drafted him.
Although Reid will begin the season backing up Rudy Gobert and Karl-Anthony Towns, the Timberwolves value his skillset and see him as an asset.
Reid is coming off a breakout season where he averaged 11.5 points and shot 53.7% from the field in 68 games.
The Timberwolves have built depth this offseason by also re-signing guard Nickeil Alexander-Walker and acquiring forwards Troy Brown Jr. and Shake Milton.
