Report: Timberwolves to re-sign Shabazz Muhammad
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Timberwolves will re-sign forward Shabazz Muhammad to a veteran’s minimum contract.
The buzz surrounding a potential return to Minnesota by free agent Shabazz Muhammad was loud enough that it would have been a mild surprise if he ended up elsewhere. Indeed, he is returning to the Timberwolves for the 2017-18 season.
Muhammad was acquired on draft night in 2013 along with Gorgui Dieng, but did not receive the large extension coming off of his rookie contract that Dieng did last offseason. Instead, Muhammad entered the summer of 2017 as a restricted free agent — a terrible market to be in, as it turned out.
