Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly opted into the ultimate two years of his contract with the crew, sources advised Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.
His deal had an opt-out clause for this summer time. As a substitute of changing into a free agent or renegotiating a brand new deal, Connelly will likely be below contract with the Timberwolves for 2 extra seasons.
The deal initially had an opt-out clause for 2024 summer time, although Connelly pushed again the choice because of the uncertainty surrounding the group as Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez took over possession from Glen Taylor.
No less than 4 groups from across the league had contacted Connelly to see if he would depart the Timberwolves.
