CJ Fulton

Point guard CJ Fulton has been waived by the Timberwolves, according to the NBA’s player transaction log. The team had just announced its Exhibit 10 deal with Fulton earlier in the day.

As Keith Smith of Spotrac tweets, signing-and-waiving Fulton was the plan all along, as it will line him up to join Minnesota’s G League club, the Iowa Wolves. Should Fulton stick with Iowa for at least 60 days, he’ll be eligible to earn a bonus worth as much as $85,300.

Fulton signed with the Timberwolves after going undrafted out of Charleston this past summer. The Belfast-born guard averaged 7.8 PPG, 6.5 APG and 4.1 RPG during his 2024/25 senior NCAA season, then latched on with Minnesota’s Summer League team.

With Fulton waived, Minnesota has 19 players under contract heading into training camp next week, leaving two openings on its 21-man roster.

The Timberwolves have signed guard CJ Fulton to an Exhibit 10 contract, Spotrac contributor Keith Smith tweets.

A native of Belfast, Northern Ireland, Fulton played four seasons of college ball in the U.S. He had a two-year stint with Lafayette, then spent two seasons at Charleston.

As a senior, Fulton averaged 7.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 6.5 assists. In 127 career NCAA games, the 6’2″ guard shot 42.7 percent from the field and 37.1 percent on three-point attempts. He also appeared in two games with the Timberwolves’ Summer League squad.

The addition of Fulton increases Minnesota’s camp count to 19, two shy of the limit.

Fulton will likely end up with the Iowa Wolves, the Timberwolves’ G League affiliate. If he’s waived and spends at least 60 days with the Iowa club, he’d earn a bonus up to $85,300.
