The Minnesota Timberwolves today announced the team has signed guard Bones Hyland to a two-way contract. Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not released.

Hyland, 6-2, has seen action in 20 games this season for the LA Clippers, averaging 7.2 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 11.1 minutes per game. On Dec. 8 vs. Houston, he scored a season-high 22 points on 7-of-13 shooting, including 5-of-10 from three and four assists.

In four seasons in the NBA, with the Denver Nuggets and Clippers, Hyland holds career averages of 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists throughout 182 games (10 starts). He earned All-Rookie Second Team honors in 2021-22 after averaging 10.1 points on 40.3% shooting, 2.7 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 19.0 minutes per game.

The Wilmington, Del. native, has seen action in 13 postseason matchups during three trips to the playoffs. He holds playoff career averages of 7.7 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 13.9 minutes per game. Hyland was selected by the Nuggets with the 26th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.

Bones Hyland is one of the most electrifying young guards in the NBA, known for his explosive scoring ability and fearless playstyle. Selected 26th overall in the 2021 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, Hyland quickly made a name for himself with his deep shooting range, quick handles, and ability to create his own shot. His flashy style and high-energy play have made him a fan favorite, and despite his smaller frame, he has proven to be a dynamic offensive weapon off the bench.

After showing promise in Denver, Hyland was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers in 2023, where he struggled to find consistent playing time in a crowded backcourt. While his scoring ability remained evident, questions arose about his defense and decision-making, leading to limited opportunities on the court. However, his talent is undeniable, and when given the chance, he has shown he can take over games with his scoring bursts and microwave-like ability to heat up quickly.

Now, with the Minnesota Timberwolves signing him to a two-way contract, Hyland has a fresh opportunity to prove himself once again. The Wolves could benefit from his offensive spark, especially as they continue to build depth for a deep playoff push. If he can improve his consistency and decision-making, this could be the perfect situation for him to reestablish himself as a key contributor in the NBA.
