Timberwolves Give Patrick Beverley 1-Year, $13M Extension

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- The Timberwolves will retain Patrick Beverley, who has become a vocal leader for the team and whose contract was set to expire after this season.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported the Wolves and Beverley have agreed to a one-year, $13 million contract extension. Beverley seemingly confirmed the report with a quote tweet on Twitter.

The Wolves announced the deal Wednesday morning, though the team did not disclose details of the extension.

Beverley, 33, joined the Wolves via trade in August. This season, he is averaging 9 points and 4.4 rebounds a game.

As of Tuesday, the Wolves are 30-27, good for seventh in the Western Conference.
