The Timberwolves have become the latest NBA team to fill both two-way contract slots for the 2019/20 season, announcing today in a press release that they’ve signed free agent forward Kelan Martin to a two-way deal.
Martin, who played his college ball at Butler, went undrafted in 2018 after averaging 21.2 PPG and 6.3 RPG with a .447/.364/.844 shooting line in 35 games as a senior. He headed overseas to begin his professional career, spending last season with German club Riesen Ludwigsburg.
After participating in a free agent mini-camp with the Raptors in June, Martin caught on with the Timberwolves for Summer League play, recording 12.9 PPG and 6.6 RPG in seven contests (21.9 MPG) in Las Vegas. His performance helped earn him a two-way deal from Minnesota — he’ll join Jordan McLaughlin, the Wolves’ other two-way player.
As our tracker shows, the Timberwolves are the 17th team to officially fill both their two-way contract slots this offseason. The club now has 18 players under contract, with Tyus Battle also reportedly in line for an Exhibit 10 deal.
