Ayo Dosunmu

The Minnesota Timberwolves are bringing back guard Ayo Dosunmu on a reported five-year, $112 million deal that includes a player option in the fifth year, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Re-signing Dosunmu was a top priority for Minnesota, which cleared salary by trading Julius Randle to Brooklyn. The deadline acquisition broke out after arriving from Chicago, averaging 14.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 3.5 assists on 52.1 percent shooting in 24 games before a strong postseason that included a 43-point game against Denver. Dosunmu is an efficient two-way guard whose value climbs with Donte DiVincenzo recovering from an Achilles injury and facing a lengthy absence. That opens a path to heavy minutes next to Anthony Edwards, making Dosunmu a useful source of points, threes, assists, and steals with strong percentages.
