Timberwolves to sign forward T.J. Warren to second 10-day contract.
The Minnesota Timberwolves will sign forward T.J. Warren to a second 10-day contract before Saturday night's game against the Utah Jazz, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Warren, 30, averaged 4.8 points on 47.4 percent shooting from the field (14.3 percent from three), 2.0 rebounds, 0.8 assists to 0.8 turnovers, and 0.3 steals in 16.0 minutes per game
The 2014 first-round pick appeared in all four Wolves games since being signed to a 10-day contract on March 6.
The Timberwolves were already planned to sign Warren before it was revealed that star Karl-Anthony Towns had suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee.
However, Towns' injury undoubtedly opened up additional opportunities for Warren, who had not previously played in the NBA
The former North Carolina State star played a season-high 23 minutes in Minnesota's 120-109 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on March 10.
Following a solid start in his first two games (a combined 13 points on 6/8 shooting
/3 from deep, and five rebounds), Warren shot just 3/11 (0/4 from 3), earning only six points in his most recent pair of outings.
