Timberwolves: Waived Fs Payton Sandfort and Nate Santos.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, sitting at 49–33 and ranked sixth in the Western Conference, have made a modest roster adjustment by waiving forward Payton Sandfort and guard Nate Santos. The move comes while the team holds a net rating of +3.4, a two‑game winning streak, and a .500 record over its last ten games, indicating they are maintaining a solid position as the season progresses.

The waiver aligns with the broader narrative surrounding the Timberwolves this offseason. Recent coverage highlights a new‑look roster that has excited star forward Anthony Edwards, who is also comfortable handing point‑guard responsibilities to LaMelo Ball. As the league’s preseason and training‑camp previews continue to scrutinize all 30 teams, Minnesota’s roster tweak reflects its ongoing effort to fine‑tune the squad for the remainder of the campaign.
