Timberwolves Acquire Kyle Anderson in Two-Year Deal
Anderson Joins Minnesota After Impressive Season with Grizzlies
Anderson has agreed to a two-year, $18 million deal to join the Minnesota Timberwolves, according to his agents, Thad Foucher and Joe Smith. The 29-year-old small forward is expected to provide a much-needed boost to the Timberwolves' frontcourt.
Anderson had a solid season with the Memphis Grizzlies in 2022-23, averaging 9.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. He also shot 49.7% from the field and 39.9% from three-point range. Anderson's versatility and ability to contribute in multiple ways will be valuable assets to the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves have been in need of a reliable small forward for some time now, and Anderson fits the bill perfectly. He is a strong defender who can guard multiple positions, and he is also a capable scorer and passer. Anderson's addition should help the Timberwolves improve their defense and offense.
Anderson is excited to join the Timberwolves and help the team reach its goals. "I'm really looking forward to playing for the Timberwolves," Anderson said. "They have a great young team with a lot of potential, and I think I can help them take the next step."
The Timberwolves open their regular season on October 19 against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Anderson is expected to play a significant role for the team this season, and he is confident that he can help the Timberwolves reach their goals.
