The Memphis Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 95-92 Monday night in Las Vegas to win the NBA Summer League title. Memphis was the #8 seed while the Timberwolves were seeded 3rd.

The Timberwolves are in the NBA Summer League final after beating the Brooklyn Nets 85-77 Sunday in Las Vegas. Naz Reid had 20 points and 6 rebounds in 19 minutes to lead the Wolves.

Because Jones was a restricted free agent, the Wolves had 48 hours to decide whether or not to match the Grizzlies' offer.

The Timberwolves agreed to a 1-year $2 Million contract with 6'9 245 pound power forward Noah Vonleh. The 23-year old averaged 8.4 points and 7.8 rebounds a game last season playing for the New York Knicks.

The Timberwolves signed 6'9 power forward Jordan Bell to an offer sheet. The deal is reportedly 1-year $1.6 Million. Bell averaged 3.3 points and 2.7 rebounds a game last season with Golden State. Bell is a restricted free agent which means Golden State can match the offer.

The Timberwolves had been reportedly interested in acquiring point guard D'Angelo Russell but that hope went away Sunday night when Golden State acquired Russell in a sign and trade deal with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Timberwolves traded up in the NBA draft with Phoenix Thursday night and selected Texas Tech shooting guard Jarrett Culver. The Wolves sent forward Dario Saric to Phoenix to move up from 11 to 6.
Culver averaged 18.5 points and 6.4 rebounds a game...

The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly ready to remove the "interim" tag from Ryan Saunders' job title.

The Timberwolves were playing without Karl-Anthony Towns, Jeff Teague, Robert Covington, Taj Gibson, Derrick Rose and others.

The Timberwolves will complete their season Wednesday night in Denver. Tip-off is set for 9:30 p.m. on AM 1390, Granite City Sports.
