Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Hits for 29 in preseason loss
Luka Garza scored a team-high 29 points (11-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) while adding nine rebounds and an assist in 32 minutes during Thursday's 132-126 preseason loss to the Nuggets.While Denver trotted out its likely starting five for the regular season, Minnesota elected to rest all its key players, giving reserves like Garza a chance to shine. It's the second in five exhibition games that the 25-year-old center has come within one rebound of a 20-10 night. Despite those performances, Garza isn't expected to see consistent minutes in the regular season as part of a Minnesota Timberwolves frontcourt that should be dominated by Rudy Gobert, Julius Randle and Naz Reid (shoulder).

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Just misses double-double Friday
Luka Garza scored 20 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 Ft) while adding nine rebounds, an assist and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Friday's preseason win over the Lakers.The 25-year-old center played big minutes as the Minnesota Timberwolves eased key frontcourt players like Rudy Gobert and Naz Reid into the preseason schedule. Garza isn't expected to have a big role for Minnesota once again in 2024-25, but the trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Knicks for Julius Randle gives Garza a slightly clearer path to minutes at center should injuries hit the team's big men.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Returning to Minnesota
Luka Garza and the Minnesota Timberwolves agreed to a two-year deal Monday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.Specifics of the deal are currently unknown, but this is likely a cap-friendly deal for the Timberwolves. Garza was used sparingly last season, appearing in 25 regular-season games with averages of 4.0 points and 1.2 rebounds. With Rudy Gobert, Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid leading the frontcourt, Garza figures to be an end-of-bench depth piece again in 2024-25.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Converted to standard deal
The Minnesota Timberwolves converted Luka Garza's two-way deal to a standard NBA contract Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.As a two-way player, Garza had been splitting time between the NBA and G League level season, making 21 appearances for Minnesota and 14 for the Iowa Wolves. He's seen a slight uptick in opportunities with the Timberwolves since Karl-Anthony Towns underwent surgery just over a month ago to address a torn meniscus, but Garza is still averaging a modest 7.9 points and 2.1 rebounds in 9.7 minutes over his last seven outings. By moving him off his two-way deal to a standard NBA contract, Garza will now be eligible to play in the postseason, though the Timberwolves could have Towns available by that point.
