Source: Timberwolves decline team option on forward Julian Phillips

The Minnesota Timberwolves have declined their $2.41 million team option on forward Julian Phillips, making him an unrestricted free agent. Phillips, acquired in a February trade with Chicago for Ayo Dosunmu, played sparingly and was selected 35th overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. The decision creates a roster spot for the Wolves, who aim to re-sign free agents Mike Conley Jr., Kyle Anderson, and Bones Hyland.
