The Suns are filling their open two-way contract slot with another big man, having claimed Drew Timme<\/a> off waivers on Monday. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype first reported the waiver claim (via Twitter<\/a>), while John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 (Twitter link<\/a>) confirms that Phoenix has converted Timme\u2019s Exhibit 10<\/a> contract to a two-way deal.<\/p>\n

\"\"A college star at Gonzaga, Timme went undrafted in 2023 and made his NBA debut with the Nets near the end of the 2024\/25 season before spending most of \u201925\/26 on a two-way deal with the Lakers. The 6\u20199\u2033 power forward appeared in a total of 36 regular season games for Brooklyn and Los Angeles, averaging 5.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 13.6 minutes per contest.<\/p>\n

An effective scorer around the basket, Timme put up 23.9 PPG, 8.2 RPG, and 4.8 APG in 21 outings (32.2 MPG) for the South Bay Lakers in the G League last season, shooting 54.5% from the floor and 76.9% from the line.<\/p>\n

After his two-way contract with the Lakers expired, Timme was with the Timberwolves this fall on a non-guaranteed training camp deal but was cut on Saturday as Minnesota set its regular season roster.<\/p>\n

Because today is the last day to convert an Exhibit 10 contract to a two-way deal, Phoenix was able to claim him and immediately make that corresponding transaction. Timme joins Duop Reath<\/a> and Pat Spencer<\/a> as the Suns\u2019 two-way players. The team waived Koby Brea<\/a> and CJ Huntley<\/a> earlier in the day.<\/p>\n

Timme will be eligible to appear in a maximum of 50 NBA regular season games while on his two-way contract, which will pay him a total of $678,882 if he\u2019s not waived before the league-wide guarantee date in January. He\u2019ll provide depth in a Suns frontcourt that will be without starting center Mark Williams<\/a> (shoulder surgery) for several months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Suns are filling their open two-way contract slot with another big man, having claimed Drew Timme off…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":888827,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[59055,385,99],"class_list":["post-888826","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-drew-timme","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888826","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=888826"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/888826\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/888827"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=888826"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=888826"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=888826"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
