The Timberwolves added to their training camp roster by signing guard Daishen Nix to an Exhibit 10 contract.

Daishen Nix will start on a minimum-salary deal as he competes for a backup spot on the team.

Nix has played 81 games the past two seasons for Houston and averaged 3.7 points and 2.1 assists. He shot 36% from the field and 28% from three-point range.
An Exhibit 10 deal is a one-year, bonus-laden contract that allows the player to attend training camp and allows the team to retain a player's G League rights should he not make the NBA roster out of camp.
A 6-4 native of Fairbanks, Alaska, Nix bypassed college basketball after signing to play at UCLA to play for the G League Ignite in 2020. He was undrafted in 2021 but signed with the Rockets, who released him after last season.
Nix will compete in a backcourt that includes Mike Conley as the starter and Shake Milton and Jordan McLaughlin jockeying for backup time at point guard.
The Wolves still have a roster spot open with training camp set to begin later this month, though they could enter the regular season with that slot open.
The players communicated through a group text chain to pull themselves out of a four-game losing streak. But the thread is used for other ways to bond and build camaraderie.
