Forward Jarred Vanderbilt and guard Jordan McLaughlin re-signed with the team after spending parts of the past two seasons in Minnesota. Terms to their respective deals were not immediately known.
The team also formally introduced newly acquired veteran guard Patrick Beverley and forward Taurean Prince on Wednesday. Another new face also made an appearance on Wednesday with team officials: Leandro Bolmaro, an Argentine-Italian professional basketball player, formerly for FC Barcelona, who was selected by the New York Knicks in the 2020 NBA Draft but had his draft rights traded to Minnesota. He announced this week that he and the team are working on a contract.
