Matt Ryan is returning to the team on a two-way deal.
Ryan signed the qualifying offer the Wolves tendered him for a two-way contract and will enter training camp with the team in that slot. Ryan will still likely face some competition in camp to keep the slot. The Wolves have signed former Rockets guard Daishen Nix to an Exhibit 10 contract and former Thunder forward Vit Krejĉí to training camp deals, among others.
Luka Garza and second-round draft pick Jaylen Clark, who is recovering from an Achilles' injury, are the other two two-way players.
The Wolves also still have an open spot on the NBA roster as they prepare for camp, with media day on Thursday.
Ryan appeared in 34 games last season between the Lakers and Wolves and shot 37% from three-point range. He averaged 3.4 points, 0.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists for the Wolves.
Taylor, who also owns the Lynx, told season ticket holders he would “miss being there to cheer on the team.”
