Jaden McDaniels Gets $40M Wolves Extension

Jaden McDaniels agreed to a one-year, $40 million extension with the Timberwolves, ESPN’s Shams Charania reports. The deal keeps him in Minnesota through 2029-30, with four years and $124 million left on his contract. McDaniels averaged 14.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.1 steals and one block last season while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 41.2 percent from three. McDaniels started all 73 games he played as Minnesota went 49-33 and reached its third straight conference semifinal. His defense alongside Rudy Gobert helped the Wolves finish with a top-10 defense. With Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball also locked in through at least 2028-29, Minnesota has its core set for another run at the West.
