Hyland signed a two-way contract with the Wolves in February, played briefly in Iowa and spent the rest of his time with the Timberwolves.”<\/p>\n Hyland’s only season with more than 50 appearances was his rookie year in Denver, where he averaged 10.1 points in 69 appearances with the team. He averaged a career high 12.1 points per game in 42 appearances with the Nuggets in 2022-23 before being traded to the Clippers, where he occupied a reserve role for the remainder of the season. <\/p>\n Hyland started a career-high five games with the Clippers in 2023-24 and scored a career-high 37 points on 15-of-29 shooting against the Phoenix Suns in April.<\/p>\n The Clippers traded Hyland to Atlanta in a deal that sent Bogdan Bogdanovic back to the Clippers, although Hyland was immediately waived by Atlanta. Minnesota claimed Hyland off waivers and signed him to a two-way contract, though he only averaged 1.3 points in four in-game appearances with the NBA club.<\/p>\n Bones Hyland is currently the leading candidate for the Timberwolves last roster spot, per @JonKrawczynski<\/a><\/p>\n (https:\/\/t.co\/WRLdAqwiDX<\/a>) pic.twitter.com\/bNR0b5WjrY<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fullcourtpass (@Fullcourtpass) August 14, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The Denver Nuggets originally drafted Hyland out of VCU with the No. 26 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. <\/p>\n Hyland was the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year in his sophomore season with the Rams in 2020-21, although he lost his opportunity to play in the NCAA Tournament after multiple positive COVID-19 tests in the VCU program required their first-round game against Oregon to be declared a no-contest, with Oregon advancing.<\/p>\n Nov 24, 2024; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA; Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (5) warms up before the game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Wells Fargo Center.
