Maryland basketball’s Melo Trimble signs with Minnesota Timberwolves

After spending the NBA Summer League with the Philadelphia 76ers, former Maryland point guard Melo Trimble will continue his career with the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Trimble’s deal, first reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, is partially guaranteed, so he figures to get a training camp tryout with the Wolves.

Trimble had a hard time getting off the bench for the Sixers summer squad, but in his three games in Vegas he averaged 10.3 points on 60 percent shooting. Trimble was initially signed by Philadelphia right after going undrafted, but the team brought in a cavalcade of young guards to compete and he ultimately didn’t make the cut.
