The Minnesota Timberwolves have waived little-used center Greg Stiemsma.

The Wolves signed the 24-year-old as a free agent in April, but he didn't appear in a game last season. The former Wisconsin Badger was waived Friday.

The 6-foot-11 Stiemsma previously played for the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the NBA's Developmental League. He averaged 8.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and a league-leading 3.6 blocks for the Skyforce.

Stiemsma finished fifth on Wisconsin's career list for blocked shots with 96.
