The Timberwolves acquired one of the NBA's better defensive players, veteran point guard Patrick Beverley, on Tuesday. An NBA source confirmed the trade of Beverley, who changed teams for the second time in two days.
The Wolves sent Jarrett Culver and Juancho Hernangomez to Memphis in exchange for the 33-year-old Beverley, who played last season for the Los Angeles Clippers.
The Clippers shipped him to Memphis on Monday along with Rajon Rondo and ex-Gopher Daniel Oturu for guard Eric Bledsoe.
Beverley was limited to 37 games last season because of injury.
After playing two seasons at Arkansas, Beverley worked his way to the NBA by playing in the Ukraine, Greece and Russia.
