The BBNBA is a man down this week after the Minnesota Timberwolves waived Johnny Juzang on Wednesday. Juzang signed a two-way deal with Minnesota this season after spending four years with the Utah Jazz. He appeared in 21 games for the Timberwolves this season while averaging 2.0 points and 0.8 rebounds.
Two-way players are only eligible to dress in 50 out of the season’s 82 games, and one of the reasons Minnesota felt compelled to waive Juzang was due to burning these games early in the season. According to head coach Chris Finch:
“You know as a two-way [player], I think regrettably we kind of burned through the games early on… he has a high-level skill being able to shoot the ball, he’s played enough NBA minutes that I’m sure he’s going to continue to have opportunities somewhere else, maybe down the road that’s here.
