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.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Scores nine points in 10 minutes
Luka Garza racked up nine points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.Garza saw minutes in the second half and made his presence felt on the offensive end, hitting a buzzer-beater in the third and finishing with nine points despite playing less than an entire quarter. The Minnesota Timberwolves are dealing with absences in the frontcourt, and if Rudy Gobert (hamstring) ends up missing Tuesday's matchup against the Clippers, Garza could be in line for a bigger role as Naz Reid's primary backup.

Timberwolves' Luka Garza: Tending to back issue
Luka Garza is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pelicans with low back spasms.Garza hasn't played at the NBA or G League level since making a two-minute cameo for the Minnesota Timberwolves on Dec. 20, and because he hasn't been featured on the injury report over the past two weeks, his appearance Wednesday is presumably the result of something that cropped up during practice. Even if Garza can move past the back issue ahead of Wednesday's 8 p.m. ET tipoff, he's unlikely to see any playing time unless the game turns into a blowout.
