Enrique Freeman

I didn't copy the link from the post but I saw on Twitter earlier that Enrique has made the opening night roster for the T-Wolves as one of their 3 two-way players. And he's wearing the #25 jersey.

Freeman has not been on the Timberwolves roster the first 2 games and will probably start out in the G league.  Here is a great article on how he may fit on the Timberwolves:

Tough to get much playing time at the beginning of the season when the roster is mostly healthy. But once the G League season starts, he'll get plenty of time there.

 

Unfortunately, the T Wolves set up with their G League team isn't as convenient as the Pacers where the two teams sometimes played in the same building on the same day, allowing him to play G League and be active in the NBA on the same day. 

 

We know for sure that he'll work hard to keep improving and get a shot to prove himself like he did last year.

The card shop I work at on the weekends had a Panini redemption for an Enrique Freeman rookie auto. After learning that I PC Freeman, the shop owner gave the redemption to me. The card arrived today from Panini. Love seeing Zips on official sports cards!

What does this mean in terms of his two-way eligibility? Can he still be called up and active at any time?

My understanding is that he can be called up at any time.  I am sure if one of the Timberwolves bigs suffers an injury he can be added to the roster.  The Iowa Wolves are probably starting their practice this week and the season opens I believe on the 8th.  It will be interesting how much he has improved as a 2nd year pro.

Enrique didn't play last night for Iowa but has been in recent practice videos on Instagram. Hopefully he is OK.

Did you notice the nose guard mask in the previous post.  He wasn't wearing the protection mask as a Halloween costume.

Yep, and he's been playing with it for about a week or so now, so that's not it.

I guess my sources must be fallible.  Sorry to question your medical observation.

Can anyone give me an update on Freeman.  I went to watch him on espn for the Iowa Wolves and he was not playing.  When I look at the roster for the Timberwolves for todays game he is not listed on their roster.  Anyone have an update?

He's been traveling with Minnesota for the last week or so but hasn't been active on gamedays. I am hoping he will either start being active or get sent back to Iowa so he can play.

One thing to keep in mind, although I don't think it's really factoring into him not playing right now...Two-way players can only be active for 50 NBA games per season. He couldn't be active every game from here on out even if they wanted him to be. Unless, they convert him to a regular contract.

Thanks for the updates!!!   I guess they are giving him an opportunity to practice with the team to see how he is progressing and where he fits into the future.  The Timberwolves have not had any injuries so they have had no reason to call anybody up from the G league to place them on the active roster.  They have 3 two way players, Juzang, Freeman and Zicarsky.  Juzang has been with the team but hardly playing while Zicarsky and Freeman have been starters in the G league.  I wonder if they will rotate the 3 way players and now send Juzang down to Iowa and keep Freeman on the Timberwolves.
