Naz Reid Expected to Decline Player Option
Naz Reid will likely join the free agent pool this offseason. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, many around the league expect Reid to decline his $15 million player option for the 2025-26 campaign. Reid will be seeking a pay rise and possibly a more significant role going forward. Speaking during his exit interview last week, Reid said he "100 percent" sees himself as a starter in the NBA. Reid won the Sixth Man of the Year award last season and followed it up with a career year in 2024-25. He averaged 14.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 27.5 minutes. In 17 starts, Reid pushed his numbers to 18.3 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.3 blocks. Fantasy managers can expect similar numbers from him next season if Reid secures a starting role. For that to happen, he will likely need to move away from Minneapolis, as Rudy Gobert is blocking his path with the Timberwolves.
