It seemed crazy that Bones Hyland wasn’t on an NBA team, and perhaps it was because it sounds like that’s about to come to an end. Jake Fischer reported on Friday that the Minnesota Timberwolves have two open roster spots and “would like to have Bones Hyland back in the fold.”

Hyland was drafted 26th overall by the Nuggets in 2021 and starred as a rookie, scoring over 10 points a game and making 69 appearances plus playoffs. He was up to 12.1 points a game in year two, but he wore out his welcome quickly and was traded to the Clippers at the 2023 deadline as Denver went on to win the title.
