Timberwolves Desire To Extend Jaden McDaniels
8 months agoThe Minnesota Timberwolves hope to reach a contract extension with forward Jaden McDaniels (hand) in the near future. "We'd love to get something done. We want Jaden to be here as long as possible", Timberwolves president Tim Connelly said during a recent podcast. The 22-year-old fractured his hand when he punched a wall amid Minnesota's final game of the regular season last year, but he should be healthy for fall training camp. McDaniels has been an important contributor alongside Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards as a three-and-D presence who doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective. The 2020 first-round pick would become a restricted free agent at the end of 2023-24 if he can't come to terms on a new deal before then. McDaniels looks like a solid late-rounder in category leagues.
