Former Timberwolves two-way wing Johnny Juzang appears headed for another overseas stop, with Eurohoops.net reporting that he is in advanced negotiations to join Fenerbahçe.
The Turkish club, which won the EuroLeague championship in 2025, would add Juzang to a roster that already includes several former NBA players: Talen Horton-Tucker, Shane Larkin, Wade Baldwin IV, Trent Forrest, and Chris Silva.
Juzang’s move would come after a quiet stint with Minnesota. He spent most of last season on the Timberwolves’ active roster but rarely saw the floor, appearing in just 21 games.
Almost all of his minutes came in garbage time, and he reached double figures in minutes only once. He finished the year averaging 2.0 points in 4.2 minutes per game.
Minnesota used its two-way spots sparingly overall. Enrique Freeman and Rocco Zikarsky spent most of the season with the Iowa Wolves, while Juzang handled the other two-way role for much of the year.
By rule, a two-way player can be on the active roster for no more than 50 games before the contract has to be converted to a standard one. Juzang hit that limit on February 6, sat inactive for three games, and then was waived by the Timberwolves.
He soon landed with Zenit Saint Petersburg in Russia for the rest of the season.
Juzang, a 6-foot-7 wing, began his NBA career with the Utah Jazz, where he spent his first three seasons before joining Minnesota. In 2023-24 and 2024-25, he shot 38.4 percent from 3-point range on 391 attempts. After making only 38 appearances across his first two seasons, he played in 64 games and made 18 starts in his final year in Utah.
Given his shooting touch and what the source describes as adequate defense, Juzang looks like a player who could have found a training-camp opportunity in the NBA. But with Fenerbahçe in the mix, the appeal may come down to money and a bigger role.

Timberwolves Suddenly Have The Leonard Miller And Josh Minott Problem
Leonard Miller and Josh Minott barely got a runway in Minnesota before their paths split from the Timberwolves, and both cases have started to look a little more complicated in hindsight. Miller was moved on in the Ayo Dosunmu deal, while Minott had his team option declined last summer, decisions that made sense at the time for a team trying to manage its roster and rotation. Since then, Minnesotas roster has shifted enough that the club could use more forward depth, the kind of minutes those two once seemed destined to fight for.
What makes the situation sting a bit is that both players have shown real signs of life elsewhere. Miller has flashed for the Bulls, and Minott has turned heads with the Celtics and Nets, giving their former team a reminder of what it gave up before either had much of a chance to settle in. For a Wolves frontcourt that has thinned out, the question is less about what happened then and more about what might have been if Minnesota had been able to hold onto either one a little longer.

Nuggets May Be Headed For The Painful Move Wolves Fans Wanted
Minnesotas offseason splash with LaMelo Ball has changed the outlook in a hurry, giving the Timberwolves a clear boost while one of their biggest Western Conference rivals has been forced to tread carefully. Denver has mostly stayed quiet, with Marvin Bagley III among the few additions, and the Nuggets decision to match the offer for Spencer Jones has only tightened the financial squeeze around a roster that still looks short on obvious upgrades.
Peyton Watsons restricted free agency remains another piece Denver has to sort through, and the cap math is starting to matter as much as the on-court fit. If the Nuggets want enough room to keep maneuvering, they may have to consider painful salary-dump moves just to stay flexible, which is exactly the kind of pressure Wolves fans were hoping to see build on a contender that cant afford many missteps.

Wolves Came Agonizingly Close To A Franchise Changing Free Agency Stunner
The Timberwolves spent free agency chasing a swing that would have changed the franchises ceiling overnight, making a serious run at LeBron James even with the usual obstacles working against them. Minnesotas pitch leaned on a young core, a rising profile and the idea that James could be the final piece for a team trying to turn promise into something bigger, with ownership and players alike involved in the effort.
Alex Rodriguez was part of the behind-the-scenes push, while Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball also took part in the recruitment, giving the Wolves a rare mix of star power and ambition in the room. For a stretch, there were even moments when Minnesota believed it had a real chance, which is what makes the near miss linger now, even if the end result left the franchise still searching for the kind of marquee arrival that can alter everything.
