Forward Enrique Freeman, 26, is off the Minnesota Timberwolves roster, a move detected on the official roster on Tuesday, Nov. 3. Hoopsrumors reported on Oct. 17 that the Wolves had waived five players, a report carrying 45% confidence.
The move
Enrique Freeman, a 26-year-old forward with two seasons of experience, leaves the Minnesota Timberwolves. The change showed up on the official roster on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and he is now off the roster. No new club is announced. The move was preceded by a report on Saturday, Oct. 17. Hoopsrumors wrote under the headline "Wolves Waive Five Players, Open Up Two-Way Slot." The outlet's report carries 45% confidence, so it does not confirm how Freeman's departure happened. The roster change itself is the only confirmed fact.
The money
Freeman's contract is not on file yet. Public salary data can lag a move by a day, so the terms are not announced here. Minnesota carries $215.3M across 15 contracts for 2026-27. That puts the Timberwolves over the first apron of $209.0M. They sit below the second apron of $221.7M. The cap is $165.0M and the tax line is $200.4M, so the club is above both. Freeman's departure does not change the payroll figure, because the number is built on 15 contracts and his is not on file.
The fit
Freeman has no NBA line from last season. Minnesota's rotation last season ran through Anthony Edwards at 33.6 minutes and 33.3 points, then Jaden McDaniels at 32.8 minutes and 16.8 points. Jonathan Kuminga averaged 30.8 minutes, Ayo Dosunmu 30.2 and Rudy Gobert 30.1. LaMelo Ball played 26.1 minutes, Terrence Shannon Jr. 22.0 and Joan Beringer 18.1. The roster stands at 16 players, against a standard limit of 15 plus three two-way players.
