Kyle Anderson Out for Personal Reasons; Reunites with Timberwolves

Kyle Anderson has been ruled out for Friday's game against Dallas due to personal reasons, though his right knee tendinitis is no longer on the injury report. Concurrently, Anderson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies and plans to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves after clearing waivers, reuniting with his former team. He previously played a monumental role for the Wolves (2022-24), averaging 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 2022-23, but saw his production dip last season. He is expected to provide defensive depth in a limited role and could join the Timberwolves as soon as Sunday.
