NBA Player News

Tillman signed a deal overseas with a Turkish Club on Wednesday, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The forward made a combined 30 regular-season appearances between the Hornets and Celtics last season for an average of 6.1 minutes per contest. Still only 27, a return to the NBA could be on the table down the road.

Gobert should benefit from sharing the floor with one of the league's best passers in LaMelo Ball, according to Cholo Magsino of Yahoo Sports.

Minnesota's lack of a traditional point guard had occasionally limited Gobert's offensive opportunities, and Ball's pick-and-roll ability could help maximize the veteran center's efficiency. However, the departures of Naz Reid and Julius Randle may place additional frontcourt responsibilities on Gobert entering his age-34 season, as Jaden McDaniels is now expected to start at power forward.

Udeh signed a two-way contract with the Cavaliers on Wednesday, according to NCAA reporter Vince Wolfram.

Udeh is a 6-11 standout center out of Miami. During his senior season with the Hurricanes, he produced averages of 6.7 points, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 28.2 minutes per contest while hitting 72.7 percent from the field.

Horford intends to sign a two-year, $14 million contract with the Warriors, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Horford will decline his player option in order to re-sign for another couple of years. The 40-year-old becomes the 13th player in NBA history to reach 20 seasons with this move. Just like 2025-26, it's likely that Horford plays a modest role with plenty of maintenance during the regular season. That includes sitting out one game of back-to-back sets.

The Timberwolves traded Reid, three first-round pick swaps, three second-round pick swaps and a 2033 unprotected first-round pick to the Hornets on Thursday in exchange for LaMelo Ball and Josh Green, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Minnesota has now moved on from Reid and Julius Randle this offseason, with the former heading to another crowded frontcourt. Reid has averaged at least 13 points and five assists while shooting 36 percent from three in each of his past two seasons. Currently, he's slated for another reserve role, but Miles Bridges has been in the rumor mill this offseason, so Charlotte may not be done making moves.

Castro agreed to a two-way contract with the Bucks on Wednesday, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Castro will join the Bucks on a two-way pact, meaning he will likely spend most of his time with their G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. Over 29 starts for George Washington in 2025-26, the 23-year-old big man averaged 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.8 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.7 assists across 27.3 minutes per game.

Kaufman-Renn was selected by the Timberwolves with the No. 59 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Kaufman-Renn logged 147 regular-season games for Purdue, averaging 11.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.3 blocks and 0.4 steals across 21.8 minutes per contest. He's a capable scorer on the inside and is a sound passer, though his three-point shooting needs some work. All things considered, Kaufman-Renn will need time to develop, so it's unknown how long it could take before he earns consistent minutes for the Timberwolves moving ahead.

The Hawks selected Ngoy with the No. 57 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and traded his rights to the Clippers, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports.

The big man will join the Clippers as part of what was essentially a three-team deal with the Hawks and Rockets. The Clippers received Ngoy, Nick Martinelli and cash, the Hawks acquired Henri Veesaar and the Rockets received cash. Ngoy most recently played for Poitiers in France's LNB Pro B and will be stashed at Auburn next season, per Jon Chepkevich of DraftExpress.com.

The Rockets selected Onyenso with the No. 53 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and traded his rights to the Knicks, who then traded his rights to the Pistons, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

The Knicks acquired the No. 39 and 53 picks and a 2029 second-rounder from the Rockets in exchange for the No. 31 and 55 selections in this year's draft. However, the Knicks traded the 53rd overall pick to the Pistons for cash considerations, sending Onyenso to Detroit. The 6-foot-11 center transferred to Virginia for the 2025-26 campaign, during which he averaged 6.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.9 blocks, 0.6 assists and 0.6 steals in 18.6 minutes per contest across 36 appearances off the bench. The big man's rim-protecting prowess could earn him some burn if injuries arise in Detroit's center group, though Onyenso isn't guaranteed a consistent role.

The Clippers selected Veesaar with the No. 52 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and traded him to the Hawks, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

The Clippers will get the No. 57 pick and cash in return. Veesaar is a skilled offensive player who spent three years as a reserve with Arizona, redshirting his entire sophomore year with an elbow injury before transferring to North Carolina and breaking out, averaging 17.0 points, 8.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 60.8 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from deep. The Hawks also drafted Zuby Ejiofor in the first round, bolstering their center group behind Onyeka Okongwu, who's thrived after taking over as a starter.
