Anderson, 32, has averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 20.4 minutes in 24 games this season between the Jazz and Grizzlies.
Anderson started 56 games over two years with the Timberwolves, averaging 25.3 minutes, the highest mark of his tenure with any of the six teams he has been with in his NBA career. The 2014 first-round pick of the San Antonio Spurs had three triple-doubles with the Timberwolves and became a fan favorite for his toughness, leadership and deliberate style on offense that earned him the nickname “Slo Mo.”
The Timberwolves host the Grizzlies on Tuesday.
