MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Timberwolves announced the signing of free-agent swingman Brandon Rush.
The Wolves announced the deal on Friday, two days after agreeing to terms on a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the former Kansas Jayhawk.
The 31-year-old Rush played just under 15 minutes per game for the Golden State Warriors last season. He shot 41.4 percent from three-point range, a desperately needed skill for the Timberwolves.
Minnesota ranked near the bottom of the league in three-point attempts last season. New coach Tom Thibodeau has said that upgrading the team’s shooting was a major priority this offseason.
