Forward Kyle Anderson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies and plans to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves once he clears waivers, sources tell ESPN.
Anderson, a versatile veteran known for his playmaking and defensive intelligence, returns to a Timberwolves organization where he spent the previous two seasons from 2022 to 2024. The move provides the Western Conference contender with a familiar face and proven depth as they look to maintain their status among the NBA's elite.
During his initial two-year tenure in Minnesota, Anderson was a vital part of the rotation, offering head coach Chris Finch a unique skill set capable of playing multiple positions. His return to the Timberwolves comes after a brief period with the Grizzlies, allowing him to rejoin a core group he helped lead to deep playoff contention last season.
The veteran forward must first clear the standard waiver period before officially signing his new contract with Minnesota. Once eligible, he is expected to immediately bolster the team's frontcourt rotation for the remainder of the campaign.
