Drew Timme Waived, Immediately Picked up by Phoenix Suns

Drew Timme, a forward/center from Gonzaga, was waived by the Minnesota Timberwolves before the 2026-27 regular season and was immediately picked up by the Phoenix Suns. Timme, who stands at 6-10 and weighs 235 pounds, was waived after playing four preseason games with the Timberwolves on an Exhibit 10 training camp contract. The Suns added more frontcourt depth to their roster by signing Timme to their third and final two-way contract spot.

This move was reported first by The NBA Consensus. Timme will split his time between the Phoenix Suns and their G League affiliate, Valley Suns, where he will play alongside former Gonzaga guard David Stockton. Timme's presence will bring a spark to the Suns' bench, as he averaged 6.0 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists in 10.8 minutes per game during his preseason stint with Minnesota.
