Enrique Freeman, a 26-year-old forward, is on the Minnesota Timberwolves' official roster as of Wednesday, Oct. 28. His contract terms have not been announced, and he had no NBA line last season.
The move
Enrique Freeman joins the Minnesota Timberwolves. He comes from free agency and was not on an NBA roster before this move. He first appeared on the club's official roster on Wednesday, Oct. 28. Freeman is a 26-year-old forward with two seasons of experience. On Saturday, Oct. 17, Hoops Rumors reported that the Wolves had waived five players and opened up a two-way slot. That report carried a confidence rating of 45 percent. The terms of Freeman's deal have not been announced.
The money
Freeman's contract is not on file yet. Public salary data can lag a signing by a day, so his cap hit and years are not announced. Minnesota carries $215.3 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27. That puts the club over the first apron of $209.0 million. The salary cap is $165.0 million and the luxury tax line is $200.4 million, so the Wolves are above both. They remain below the second apron of $221.7 million. Freeman's number will decide how close the club gets to that line.
The fit
Freeman had no NBA line last season. Minnesota's frontcourt rotation was set. Jaden McDaniels played 31.6 minutes and scored 15.0 points. Jonathan Kuminga logged 29.8 minutes and scored 11.5 points. Rudy Gobert played 32.5 minutes with 8.0 points, and Joan Beringer added 14.6 minutes and 6.8 points. Anthony Edwards led the club with 33.6 minutes and 33.3 points. The Wolves now list 17 players. The standard limit is 15 players plus three on two-way deals.
