Iowa Wolves Wiretap

The Minnesota Timberwolves are signing guard Zyon Pullin to a two-way contract. The Wolves opened a two-way spot by waiving guard Jules Bernard on Saturday.

Pullin has played in 14 games for the Iowa Wolves of the G League this season. The 6-foot-4 guard missed more than two months with a wrist injury, but recently returned to play. On the season, Pullin is averaging 23.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. He's hitting for 56/49/84 shooting splits for the year.

The Minnesota Timberwolves converted guard Johnny Juzang from his Exhibit 10 contract to a two-way deal. To open the two-way spot for Juzang, the Wolves waived guard Tristen Newton. Minnesota also waived guard Jules Bernard and Zyon Pullin, and forward Alize Johnson from their camp contracts.

The Timberwolves roster is now set for the regular season. Minnesota has 14 players signed to standard contracts and three signed to two-way deals. The Wolves are carrying an open standard roster spot into the regular season.

The Minnesota Timberwolves waived center Jesse Edwards from his two-way contract. Edwards has agreed to a contract with Melbourne United of Australia's NBL for the upcoming season.

In 34 games with the Iowa Wolves of the G League, Edwards averaged 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game. The 7-footer signed his two-way qualifying offer with Minnesota earlier this offseason, but the team will reportedly be bringing back Tristen Newton on a two-way deal. Newton will join Enrique Freeman and rookie center Rocco Zikarsky as the Timberwolves two-way players this season.

Mahmoud Abdelfattah has been hired by the Minnesota Timberwolves as head coach of the Iowa Wolves, their G League affiliate.

Abdelfattah was previously head coach of the Sydney Kings in Australia. Abdelfattah also was previously a head coach in the G League with the Rio Grande Valley Vipers before joining the Houston Rockets as an assistant coach.

Abdelfattah was G League Coach of the Year in 2022.
