Bones Hyland's True Shooting Has Dropped 15.3 Points in 10 Games

The Timberwolves guard is shooting far worse than his season mark, and the next stretch of games will decide if it's a blip or a new normal.

43.0%true shooting, last 10 games · last season, May 15Bones Hyland

Bones Hyland is shooting 43.0% true shooting over his last 10 games. His mark for the 2025-26 season, last season overall, sits at 58.3%. That gap is 15.3 points, a steep swing for any full-season shooter.

Hyland is averaging 8 points in 16 minutes a game for the Timberwolves this season. On a limited role, efficiency carries extra weight. When the shots he takes stop falling at his usual rate, it gets harder to justify the minutes he gets.

His most recent game was May 15, 2026, so this cold stretch is current, not old news. Whether it holds or breaks depends on what happens over his next 10 games. If the true shooting number stays near 43.0%, the slump becomes his new form. If it climbs back toward 58.3%, this was a rough patch inside a longer season.

For now, the Timberwolves are watching a player whose season-long shooting profile and his most recent 10 games tell two different stories. One of those numbers will have to give.
