The Timberwolves are considering bringing back one of their two-way players from last season.
The Wolves and point guard Jordan McLaughlin have discussed a new contract, a source said, with the source adding those talks are ongoing.
McLaughlin split time last season between the NBA and the G-League and played in 30 games for the Wolves, starting two.
