Re-signs with Minnesota Hyland re-signed with the Timberwolves on a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum, according to Dane Moore of 'The Dane Moore NBA Podcast'.

Impact Hyland stated that he wanted to return to Minnesota after the Game 6 loss to the Spurs on May 15, and he got his wish in a one-year deal for the veteran's minimum. Hyland should have a bench role in Minnesota's rotation in 2026-27, but he shouldn't have a lot of minutes competing for a lesser role in a backcourt led by Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball. Hyland averaged 16.6 minutes while putting up 8.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per tilt across 71 regular-season contests.

Wants to return to Minnesota Hyland closed with three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound over eight minutes during Friday's 139-109 loss to the Spurs in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Impact Hyland saw meaningful minutes off the Timberwolves' bench during the first round of the Western Conference playoffs against the Nuggets. However, he saw his playing time diminish during the Semifinals, and all eight of his minutes in Friday's loss came in garbage time in the fourth quarter. Hyland is an unrestricted free agent but expressed his desire to return to the Timberwolves, as he told reporters Friday that "[Minnesota] feels like where I belong so I definitely want to come back," per Chris Hine of The Minnesota Star Tribune. Hyland averaged 16.6 minutes per game during the regular season while mostly operating off the bench, but if he returns to the Timberwolves for the 2026-27 campaign, then he would be in line for an expanded role due to the absence of Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles).

Moves out of rotation in Game 3 Hyland (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Timberwolves' 115-108 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of a Western Conference Semifinals series.

Impact With Anthony Edwards (41 minutes) and Ayo Dosunmu (32 minutes) both being able to take on full workloads in Game 3, Minnesota didn't have any playing time in the backcourt left over for Hyland, who dropped out of head coach Chris Finch's eight-man rotation. Hyland had appeared in each of the Timberwolves' first eight playoff games, averaging 5.4 points, 1.9 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers in 13.1 minutes per contest.
