MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves signed 12-year veteran forward Kyle Anderson on Monday, bringing back a popular player after he was released by the Memphis Grizzlies.

Anderson played two seasons for the Timberwolves, contributing to their run to the Western Conference finals in 2024. He then signed with the Golden State Warriors in free agency and has been traded three times since, most recently to the Grizzlies by the Utah Jazz.

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.
