Sitting 7th in the West, the Minnesota Timberwolves are in need of some consistency and wins on the trot to cement a playoff position. They’re 5W-5L in their last 10, and that’s mostly down to Anthony Edwards‘ scintillating form. But he’s in line for a punishment that’ll reduce his game time for the Wolves, and they’re without longstanding center Karl Anthony-Towns for the first time in 10 years. They’re in need of some quality in their lineup for success. And according to Shams Charania of the NBA, that’s exactly what they’ve gone and done.
The first one isn’t much of a ‘signing’ by definition, but a relative newcomer nonetheless. Shooting guard Jaylen Clark was a college sensation coming out of UCLA. He was already the Bruins’ talisman during his third year and was in sight of coming into the NBA as one of the hottest youngsters in years. But a ruptured right Achilles tendon in mid-2023 set him back by about 8-10 months, ruining his hopes of a blistering entry into the Association.
He still chose to declare himself for the 2023 NBA draft.
