What happened
Phoenix claimed forward Drew Timme off waivers on Monday after waiving Kobe Brea and CJ Huntley earlier in the day. League sources and Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro said the move appears set to fill the Suns’ final two-way opening.
Timme, who was in Minnesota’s training camp on an Exhibit 10 deal, has logged two NBA seasons with Brooklyn and the Lakers. The 6-foot-9 power forward is entering his third league year and brings size, passing and interior scoring rather than perimeter shooting.
The claim gives Phoenix another developmental big and likely closes its two-way business for now. It could affect the back-end rotation only if Timme earns minutes in camp or the regular season.
