BONES HYLAND NEWS

Limited role Wednesday Hyland finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 10 minutes during Wednesday's 120-109 victory over the Wizards.

Limited workload continues Hyland closed with three points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 10 minutes in Saturday's 122-105 win over Charlotte.

Impact Hyland once again finished in single digits Saturday, marking his sixth straight game without reaching double figures to open the season. The 2021 first-round pick has shown scoring flashes in past campaigns but hasn't carved out a meaningful role in Minnesota's rotation, competing for playing time at point guard behind Donte DiVincenzo and Mike Conley alongside Rob Dillingham. Through six contests, Hyland is averaging 5.2 points, 1.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game.

Impact Hyland isn't likely to have much of a role off the bench for the T-Wolves barring several injuries, but it's certainly notable that he got minutes ahead of 2024 eight overall draft pick Dillingham, who was thought to have a growing role off the bench this season. Minnesota's point guard situation is a bit in flux, so there could be opportunity for Hyland to win more minutes off the bench.

Impact Hyland is not expected to be a contributor in Minnesota's rotation, especially not right away, but having another double-digit scoring output is encouraging. In six preseason games, Hyland averaged 7.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks over 16.2 minutes.

Impact Hyland impressed during Minnesota's preseason opener, leading all scorers in an efficient performance. The 25-year-old guard signed a partially guaranteed one-year contract with the team in mid-September and is likely to provide backcourt depth for the Timberwolves in the 2025-26 campaign. He appeared in 24 regular-season games between the Timberwolves and Clippers last season, during which he averaged 6.2 points and 1.3 assists across 10.0 minutes per contest.

Impact After fizzling out with the Clippers and Nuggets last year, Hyland has landed an opportunity to join Minnesota for training camp in an effort to make the final roster. The 2021 first-rounder is capable of providing instant offense off the bench, as he averaged 6.2 points, 0.8 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in just 10.0 minutes per game over 24 regular-season contests in 2024-25, but he'll likely be hard-pressed to find playing time in the Minnesota backcourt if he makes the cut.
