Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly opted into the ultimate two years of his contract with the group, sources advised Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic.
His deal had an opt-out clause for this summer time. As an alternative of changing into a free agent or renegotiating a brand new deal, Connelly shall 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 as a result of uncertainty surrounding the group as Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez took over possession from Glen Taylor.
Not less than 4 groups from across the league had contacted Connelly to see if he would go away the Timberwolves.
