NBA Rumors: the curious signing that the Wolves almost finalized

Minnesota Timberwolves explored the possibility of bringing Sasha Vezenkov back to the NBA before finalizing the signing of Jonathan Kuminga. According to sources consulted by Marc Stein from The Stein Line, the Minnesota franchise considered the option of convincing the Bulgarian player to return to the United States.

However, the Wolves never made a formal offer for Vezenkov. The absence of a concrete proposal could indicate that the player had no intention of returning to the NBA after moving back to European basketball.

The situation led Minnesota to seek other alternatives in the market. Ultimately, the franchise changed its strategy and ended up signing Jonathan Kuminga, leaving behind the possibility of re-signing Vezenkov.

The Wolves' interest in the Bulgarian player shows that his name was considered during the roster planning, although the discussions did not turn into a formal negotiation.

Vezenkov lasted only one season in the NBA

Vezenkov arrived in the NBA to play the 2023-24 season with the Sacramento Kings. During that campaign, the player averaged 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds, before deciding to return to Europe.

His time in Sacramento thus ended after just one season in the NBA. Now, according to Marc Stein's information, Minnesota explored the possibility of convincing him to return to the United States, although that option ultimately did not move forward.

The Timberwolves chose another path and focused their efforts on Kuminga, who ultimately became their choice to strengthen the roster.

In this way, Vezenkov was among the alternatives that the Wolves considered during their roster construction process, but he never received a formal offer from the franchise.
