Agrees to sign with Celtics Minott has agreed to sign a two-year, $5 million contract with the Celtics, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The Timberwolves declined Minott's team option ahead of free agency, which allowed him to head elsewhere this offseason. The 2022 second-rounder logged a mere 6.0 minutes per game over 46 regular-season appearances a year ago, so he's unlikely to begin the 2025-26 campaign with meaningful minutes. That said, Minott should have a chance of carving out a notable role as a frontcourt reserve due to the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) and trade of Kristaps Porzingis.

Team optioned declined The Timberwolves intend to decline Minott's $2.19 million team option, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Minott will have the ability to sign with whichever team that wants his services in free agency. The 2022 second-rounder saw sparse playing time during the 2024-25 regular season, averaging 2.6 points and 1.0 rebounds over 6.0 minutes per game.

JUNE 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Receives rare playoff minutes Minott racked up three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes during Wednesday's 124-94 loss to the Thunder in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact Due to Minnesota being blown out during Wednesday's season-ending loss, the team emptied the bench, allowing Minott to make just his fifth playoff appearance this season. Minott has a $2.19 million team option for the 2025-26 campaign.

MAY 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs 12 minutes Minott closed Tuesday's 140-139 double-overtime victory over the Nuggets with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes.

Impact This was Minott's first game logging double-digit minutes since Jan. 25. He's been used very sparingly this season, posting averages of 2.6 points and 1.1 rebounds in 6.3 minutes across 43 total appearances.

APRIL 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Rare appearance in win Minott closed with five points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Saturday's 133-104 victory over the Nuggets.

Impact Minott cracked the rotation for the first time in four games, continuing to serve as nothing more than a depth piece for the resurgent Timberwolves. After a rocky start to the campaign, Minnesota has now won seven of the past 11 games. Although Minott has suited up on 27 occasions, he is only averaging 7.4 minutes per game.

JANUARY 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Minott (illness) has been cleared to play Monday against the Clippers.

Impact Minott was labeled as a game-time call due to illness, but he's since been given the green light to suit up. He's averaging 4.6 points and 1.4 rebounds over 8.6 minutes in his last five appearances.

JANUARY 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Monday Minott (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Minott could miss a second straight game due to an illness. Donte DiVincenzo and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would see a slight uptick in minutes off the bench should Minott be able to play Monday.

JANUARY 5, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up Saturday Minott (illness) will not play Saturday against the Pistons.

Impact Minott will miss his first game since Dec. 13, but the guard will be day-to-day going forward. He's been a fringe rotation player for Minnesota with an average of 8.6 minutes across his last five games.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable for Saturday Minott (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Minott is in jeopardy of missing his first outing since Dec. 13 due to the illness. The 22-year-old swingman has received little playing time at the NBA level, and his potential absence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions. Over his last five games, Minott has averaged 4.6 points and 1.4 rebounds across 8.6 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 3, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays just six minutes in win Minott closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one block across five minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 victory over the Mavericks.

Impact Minott was used sparingly again, continuing what has been a frustrating start to the season. Although he has played in more games than he has missed, Minott typically logs most of his playing time down the stretch, when the game is done and dusted. Barring injuries to those around him, his role is unlikely to change moving forward.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Career-best performance Wednesday Minott ended with 13 points (5-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 108-80 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Minott logged more than 20 minutes in an NBA game for the first time in his career, and there's no question the second-year forward made the most of his minutes. He delivered career-high marks in points, rebounds and assists while making a huge impact off the bench. That said, Minott had appeared in just eight games prior to Wednesday's win and averaged only 6.4 minutes per game, so he's not likely to hover around the 20-minute-per-game mark all of a sudden.

DECEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Used sparingly in victory Minott had one point (1-2 FT), one rebound and one block in eight minutes during Monday's 114-93 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Minott slid into the rotation for just the second time this season, playing eight minutes of garbage time. He is typically only ever utilized when the scoreline is one-sided. There is no indication that his role is going to change moving forward.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Denver Minott will start in Thursday's preseason finale against the Nuggets.

Impact The Timberwolves are not only resting their starters, but they're also resting their regular reserves for this contest. Minott will have the chance to impress the coaching staff and will start alongside Luka Garza in the frontcourt. Rob Dillingham, Terrence Shannon and P.J. Dozier form the rest of the first unit.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leads team with 18 points Minott posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, a steal and a blocked shot across 22 minutes in Wednesday's 125=123 preseason loss to the Bulls.

Impact One shouldn't read much into Minott's performance. The 2022 second-round pick is trapped in a crowded depth chart that won't give him many opportunities to move up. Although he shows promise and signed a new deal in the offseason, his participation will be limited.
