Timberwolves Sign Bonzi Wells

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It seems like forever since Bonzi was a key piece to the Blazers teams of the late 90s, early 2000s. Although he hasn’t played since 2008, he’s back in the league at the age of 35. It’s worth note that he’s not guaranteed a spot on the roster.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed veteran Bonzi Wells, who hasn’t played in the NBA since 2008.

The forward signed his camp contract Thursday, allowing him to try to mount a comeback but not guaranteeing a spot on the team.

The 35-year-old Wells earned a reputation as a hothead during his earlier years with the Portland Trail Blazers. But he connected with new Minnesota coach Rick Adelman during stops in Sacramento and Houston, and the Wolves hope he can add some veteran toughness to a very young team.
