Enrique Freeman

Enrique hasn't played since this injury. Can't find much on his status or nature of the injury.

Unfortunately, I anticipated him being waived.  Hardly played in the preseason.  Will be interesting to see if he plays in the G league or goes overseas to make some money.  He needed to develop a reliable 3 point shot and it just never happened.  The hustle play and good defense was just not enough to keep him with the Timberwolves.  Not sure if the shoulder injury was a game changer but he never got on the court after the injury.

What a complete mismanagement by Minnesota. Hope they lose 82 games this season.

He was playing before the shoulder injury. After that, he was inactive each game.

I hope they don't keep him.  There are franchises that could be a better fit

I did not know he was inactive after the shoulder injury.  The stat sheet did not indicate he was injured.  The coach did not indicate he was injured when they waived him.  The NBA is a difficult business.  I hope he stays in the G league and does not give up his dream of getting a roster spot in the NBA.

The Timberwolves provide status reports before every game, and he was listed as "out" for the final three preseason contests. I never saw any kind of detail on his injury, though.

Anyone have an update on Freeman on where he is going to play.  Curious if it is G league or Europe

I saw some speculation online that other NBA teams may have interest in him on a two-way.

Thanks.  I just wonder how much the shoulder injury hurt his chances to stay in Minn.

I definitely think it is possible. I still haven't been able to find any details on the injury.

Should sign today.

My jersey is safe!

Thanks for posting!!!  I have been checking hoping that he would get another 2 way.  The fact that he did not sign with another team as a g league player without a 2 way gave me hope that he would return to the Timberwolves.  I think the fact that he is a class act and a great team player probably weighed on their consideration to bring him back.

I'm so confused.

SLC must have claimed him after Minnesota released him. This is pretty hilarious they traded for him after releasing him.

[Zips1991]

My question now is: is he still on a two-way deal or is he now just on a G League deal?

I would assume G League deal.

I would assume so too since it was framed as Iowa trading for him and not Minnesota.

Bizarre.  I am assuming that Minnesota sees value in Freeman but wanted to sign someone else to a 2 way deal while he is dealing with an injury.  Minn may resign him to a 2 way once he is able to play.
