The move
Jules Bernard leaves the Minnesota Timberwolves roster, per the official roster as of Friday, Sep. 18. The move follows a report the same day from Paul Garcia, who wrote that Bernard and David Stockton had signed camp deals, with the Wolves and Suns respectively; no confidence rating was given for that report. Bernard, a 26-year-old guard with one season of NBA experience, is no longer with Minnesota, according to the roster.
The money
Bernard's contract is not on file yet; public salary data can lag a signing by a day, and no terms or years are available for this move. Minnesota's payroll stands at $215.3 million across 15 contracts for 2026-27, over the first apron. The salary cap is $165.0 million, the tax line is $200.4 million, the first apron is $209.0 million and the second apron is $221.7 million. The Timberwolves' spending places them above the first apron threshold for the season.
The fit
Bernard has no NBA line from last season on file. Minnesota's rotation last season ran through Anthony Edwards (35.0 minutes, 28.8 points), Julius Randle (33.0 minutes, 21.1 points), Jaden McDaniels (31.7 minutes, 14.8 points), Rudy Gobert (31.3 minutes, 10.9 points), Donte DiVincenzo (30.4 minutes, 12.2 points), Ayo Dosunmu (28.9 minutes, 14.4 points), Naz Reid (26.1 minutes, 13.6 points) and Kyle Anderson (19.1 minutes, 4.6 points). The Timberwolves currently carry 18 players, above the standard 15-man limit, with three on two-way deals.
