The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired point guard Monte Morris from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for guards Shake Milton and Troy Brown Jr.
The Minnesota Timberwolves have acquired point guard Monte Morris from the Detroit Pistons in exchange for guards Shake Milton and Troy Brown Jr. and a second-round pick in the 2030 draft, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Morris, 28, recorded a career average of 10.3 points and 5.3 assists for the Washington Wizards last season, starting in 61 of 62 games played.
He missed the first 43 games of the 2023-24 season due to a right quadriceps injury, but returned to the court on 24 January as a reserve for the Pistons.
In the final season of a three-year, $27.7 million contract, Morris brings his playoff experience to the Wolves, this being one of the best seasons in franchise history with a 35-16 record, ranking first in the Western.
With 48 playoff games under his belt (10 as a starter) with the Denver Nuggets, Morris will look to bolster the Timberwolves’ offense, which has recently been struggling in the late games.
