Former Great Britain forward Luol Deng has signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Londoner recently agreed a $7.5 million buyout from his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers where he made a solitary appearance last season as the fallen giants focused exclusively on youth.
He now re-joins his former Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau and a number of former team-mates in Minneapolis with the T-Wolves becoming his fifth NBA team.
Over his NBA career, the 33-year-old owns averages of 15.0 points on 45.5% shooting, 6.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game.

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
