Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Agrees to massive extension

McDaniels (calf) and the Timberwolves agreed to a five-year, $136 million contract extension Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This is a testament to how much the Timberwolves believe in the versatile forward. Already an elite defender, McDaniels has also made strides on the offensive end and hit 39.8 percent of his three-pointers in 2022-23. Going into his age-23 season, McDaniels has been a popular late-round pick in fantasy drafts because of his ability to contribute across the board. As for Opening Night against the Raptors on Wednesday, the forward is currently considered questionable with left calf soreness.
