Report: Timberwolves sign veteran sharpshooter Joe Ingles
It only took the Timberwolves about 24 hours to find Kyle Anderson's replacement. On Wednesday, the Wolves reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with veteran sharpshooter Joe Ingles, who shot 43.5% from 3-point range in 68 games with the Orlando Magic in 2023-24.
Ingles, who turns 37 in October, is effectively the replacement for Anderson, who was sent to the Warriors in a sign-and-trade deal on Wednesday. Anderson played 22.6 minutes per game off Minnesota's bench this past season and shot 22.8% from 3.
Ingles averaged a shade over 17 minutes per game so the early thinking in Minnesota might be to fill Anderson's minutes with a combination of Ingles and rookie first-round pick Terrence Shannon Jr. The potential depth chart might look something like this (including the update that the Wolves have reportedly signed P.J. Dozier)...
Position | Starter | Backup | Depth |
---|---|---|---|
PG | Mike Conley | Rob Dillingham | P.J. Dozier |
SG | Anthony Edwards | Nickeil Alexander-Walker | Jaylen Clark |
SF | Jaden McDaniels | Joe Ingles | Terrence Shannon Jr. |
PF | Karl-Anthony Towns | Josh Minott | Leonard Miller |
C | Rudy Gobert | Naz Reid | Luka Garza |
Ingles is now reunited with Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley Jr., whom he played alongside in Utah for three seasons from 2019 to 2022.
