Report: Wolves Sign Former First-Round Pick Trey Lyles

Minnesota adds a veteran stretch four who shot 42.1% from 3-point range in Europe and gives the Wolves depth at power forward.

  • On Friday, the Minnesota Timberwolves agreed to a one-year deal with veteran forward Trey Lyles, The Athletic reported.
  • Lyles, a 10-year NBA veteran, previously played two seasons for Timberwolves basketball boss Tim Connelly in Denver before spending last season overseas for Real Madrid.
  • The 6-foot-9 forward averaged nearly 13 points while shooting 45.9 percent from deep in EuroLeague play, and averaged 6.5 points and 4.6 rebounds at 42.0 percent overall during his 2024-25 campaign.
  • This marks Minnesota's 12th agreed-to signing with potential for 14 rostered players, though Lyles likely won't start and instead provides necessary depth at power forward.
  • The Timberwolves maintain reported interest in LeBron James and Rui Hachimura as starting power forwards; Rich Paul, LeBron's agent, confirmed Minnesota is among ten teams pursuing the 42-year-old.
